Day/Weight/Comment
01/17 …..189.9….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/18 …..189.9 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1423 Calories In / 2984 Calories Out. 42 Net Carbs. 21,302 Total Steps & 9.01 Total Miles. 10/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 1 minutes but it was very broken sleep. I walked for 2 hours & 7 minutes at the school burning 969 calories walking very briskly and I walked on my property for a short 12 minute walk at about 3.0 mph burning another 72 calories. Total extra burn 1041. Good luck everyone! Let’s make this one really count!

01/19 …..189.7 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1716 Calories In / 2125 Calories Out. 84 Net Carbs. 8,197 Total Steps & 3.47 Total Miles related to working. 12/13 fitbit step hours. I slept 4 hours & 3 minutes but I needed so much more. I walked steady for 15 minutes at 2.5 mph burning 65 calories which didn’t help my situation

01/20 …..189.7 ….. First a report on my son who is an adult autistic beautiful boy. First official weekly weigh-in this morning showed a 5.8 pound loss for him Yesterday’s stats: 1838 Calories In / 2436 Calories Out. 76 Carbs. 12,232 Total Steps & 5.18 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 6 minutes and woke up very tired. The school is not open to walk on Sat/Sun and the weather hit 11 degrees below zero by dark. Too cold & icy to walk outside yesterday. I cleaned cabins for a couple of hours. Fitbit saw it as 27 minutes of activity so that’s what I record.

01/21 …..189.6 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1808 Calories In / 2861 Calories Out. 48 Net Carbs. 21,306 Total Steps & 9.02 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 31 minutes falling asleep earlier last night. I woke up much better rested. I walked at the school at about 3.5 mph average for 116 minutes burning 711 Extra calories.

01/22 …..189.6 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1545 Calories In / 2953 Calories Out. 62 Net Carbs. 20,652 Total Steps & 8.74 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 47 minutes and it felt good. I walked for 14 minutes at home at about 3.0 mph burning 72 cals. I walked at the school for 113 minutes at 4.0 mph burning 775 cals, and I danced for 18 minutes burning 144 cals. [/color=crimson]Sample song: “Pontoon” by Little Big Town.[/color=crimson] Total extra calorie burn 991.

01/23 …..189.9 ….. I deserve this. I cracked a bit under the pressure of making my son’s dinner (which is in his plan, but not mine). Usually I do very well at home. This was a disappointment to myself. The only plus was that I did switch it up a bit to be more carb friendly for my share, but it was still over the top. Yesterday was also a rest day from the long walks. I worked on projects at home. I got A LOT done. Still more to do, but I’ve got to try to fit in a walk of some sort today at the school. I would love to finish up what I’m in the middle of at home, but need and miss the walk. Also, bad behavior should not be rewarded with a day off. Yesterday’s stats: 1889 Calories In / 2467 Calories Out. 84 Net Carbs. 13,269 Total Steps & 5.61 Total miles in my attempt to get 1000 steps per hour while working at home. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours, I slept 5 hours & 7 minutes and needed much much more. Fitbit recognized 2 sets of walking which totaled 40 minutes. The extra calorie burn was about 243 when combined.

01/24 …..190.8 ….. Dinner out with a friend after walking at the school for 90 minutes burning 568 extra calories. Incomplete logging. Fitbit says I burned 2595 Calories and walked 6.97 total miles over the course of the day. I slept 4 hours & 53 minutes and woke up dragging and tired. I am hoping that my diet levels will keep up with my exercise levels soon. Thanks to Quilting Jaine for the idea to make each round goal show a loss, ANY LOSS, from the end weight of the round before. I have amended my goals to reflect this very good idea. Now the mountain I must climb doesn’t seem so high.

01/25 …..191.6 ….. OMGosh, such a horrible and scary blood glucose drop last night that I actually had to have my son keep periodically checking on me. Even with his autism, I feel confident he can call 911 and relay a bit of my medical info to EMTs if necessary. I go over the instructions with him from time to time. My glucose dropped to 52 and I was so shaky and foggy in the eyes I had extreme difficulty testing my sugar. 3 buttons, before meal, after meal or fasting. I couldn’t stop shaking long enough to direct the buttons but before I could manipulate the darn thing, the machine popped up my warning of too low at 52. My smart side said follow the plan and eat my reserved carbs, my sick side said “shovel it in as fast as you can” which I foolishly did for 20 straight minutes until I could feel the difference. Upon a then calmer check my number was 101. 2 hours after using the shovel, my glucose was 159. Technically too high, but boy did I ever finally feel better. Getting my doctor involved means insulin. We’ve already had that talk. However, when my weight loss is going well and my numbers get too low, it’s the opposite and I am actually removed/reduced from medicine. The problem is, I’ve gained and I know that would mean insulin to regulate and I am not about to let that happen when I know I can get this train back on its tracks and start the loss again with a little smart maneuvering. Yes, I am going to be very careful, but let me tell you folks, sometimes it’s mild and not too bad when the sugar drops. However, sometimes it’s unbelievable. Last night was one of the worst! However, with T2D I know that diet and exercise plays a HUGE role so I am working that angle right now.

So, last night, naturally, my numbers on my calories and carbs were corrupted and overboard. My fitbit stats were as follows: 2771 Calories burned. 20,475 Total Steps & 8.66 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit step hours. I slept 5 hours & 26 minutes. I walked at the school for 2 hours & 31 minutes and burned 817 extra calories. Today I am feeling okay and will try to have a better day. The school is closed on Sat & Sun and it is frigid in the northern Michigan temps so no major walking today. I will try to do some in the house but it will be much less than usual. That might be a good thing today though. Keep going everyone! I’m still with you…..It’s just going to take me a little longer to run through the ribbon at the finish line.

01/26 …..190.0 ….. A better night last night. I had no sudden drop in glucose last night. Instead I felt a slow moving drop coming on (like a car in slo-mo, instead of a speeding one) and my reserved carb snacks did the trick. Clearly I can still see that my body is struggling with the adjustments back to diet plan & exercise, but it is adjustment that is badly needed. This is exactly how it was when I first started my journey so I know I can do this (again) safely. Yesterday’s stats: 1319 Calories In / 2329 Out. 34 Net Carbs. 10,071 Total Steps & 4.26 Total Miles. 11/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 2 minutes and woke up groggy and tired. Not enough water yesterday for sure. 2 separate 12 minute walks at home burned 168 calories done purposely to stay under my calorie goal. Generally, a bit of a rest day which my knees are especially appreciating. If I stay on track today, I should be able to end below last rounds ending weight (thanks Q-Jane), my new goal. That would keep me pointed in the right direction and for that I will be grateful. Thanks to everyone for their ideas, suggestions & research. I welcome it all! I will say this, an occasional social event with food or a travel day with restaurants does not cause this much damage. I must have really blown it way too often and in horrid quantities to be completely starting over with my body like this. Talk about yo-yo! My body, I think, didn’t know whether to burn fat or glucose for fuel because I was indulging too frequently between Thanksgiving and the New Year. I know I lost all consistency, looking back. I hope I am never that fickle again, and certainly not for that length of time! Lesson learned. #Willtrytostaystrongduringholidays. I just wish there was less travel in my life. Living in the boonies doesn't help and holidays require so much more travel. A goal for this year, ALL YEAR, make healthier choices in restaurants since they usually cannot be avoided. The suggestion to carry low carb snacks during travel to avoid gas station & convenience store JUNK really helped last year. Now, to get stronger and smarter in the restaurants! Especially at Christmas when there is so MUCH travel & shopping. The festivities DON'T BELONG ON MY PLATE. They Belong in my heart.

01/27 …..190.0 ….. I was hoping for a drop on the scale but okay, it is what it is. Yesterday’s stats: 1736 Calories In / 2512 Calories Out. About 47 Net Carbs. 13,107 Total Steps & 5.55 Total Miles mostly in cleaning tourist cabins and laundry service. 13/13 fitbit step hours. I slept 5 hours & 54 minutes and could have used more but had to get up to greet an incoming reservation. Fitbit recognized 15 minutes of continual activity and credited me with 85 calories burned. I’ll see you all in 103!

@musicsax - Sincere condolences on the loss of your dad. I hope you find some comfort in the care you were able to give him. And congratulations on the birth of your new grandson. What a joy to welcome a new grandchild, bittersweet though it may be. Wishing all the best for your family.

Round 102
Female, 42, 5’9”, Central Ohio

1/1/19: 213.4
1/1/20: 209.5
UGW 170

Round102: BW 210.1 – EW 203.7 (-6.4)

Day/Weight/Comment
01/18 - 210.1
01/19 – 207 (-3.1)
01/20 – 209.1 (+2.1), Sunday info: 2908 steps, 2 of 12, 6hr20m (76); I have gotten extremely lazy since I was last here. Need to get myself in gear and try again.

01/21 – 207.5 (-1.6), Monday info: 4646 steps, 8 of 12, 6hr56m (83); Since I had Monday off work, I tried to do house-walking every time my Fitbit beeped. (It’s wayyyyy too cold to go outside in Ohio unless you’re crazy.) I rode my recumbent bike. I logged everything that I put into my mouth. I’m of those who gets SAD (seasonal affect disorder) in the winter and it’s been pretty bad this past weekend. ☹

01/22 – 207.1 (-0.4), Tuesday info: 5748 steps, 6 of 12, 5hr35m (71); Back to work. 10 hour day. Lots of sitting. Meant to get up and walk when Fitbit alerted me but that didn’t always happen. I rode my recumbent bike and logged all my food for 2nd day. I did NOT get to bed at a decent time though. I’m still a work in progress but seeing positive signs of holding myself accountable again.

01/23 – 205.6 (-1.5), Wednesday info: 7269 steps, 11 of 12, 6hr24m (76); The only hour in which I did NOT hit 250 steps was from noon to 1pm. I think that’s a NSV for sure! Was I mindful in actually getting up from my desk every hour? Nope. My work day was just that NUTS….then I was making sure to house-walk after I got home. Got some time in on the recumbent bike. First time I have made it over 7k steps in one day that did not involve horseback riding. Food choices have been good. I even allowed myself room for ice cream before bed and 2 Lindor’s peppermint/white chocolates after I was in bed. *guilty pleasure* Still could do better on sleep though. One day at a time.

01/24 – 204.2 (-1.4), Thursday info: 5791 steps, 9 of 12, 5hr53m (72); I had a 10+ hour work day so it was late when I got home. I was uber tired but I managed to ride the recumbent bike and stay within my calories. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to bed when I wanted to. I had missed the evening weather report so I wanted to catch the 10pm forecast. (Should have gone to bed an hour earlier.) Worried about bad weather for Saturday (barn day and 250 mile round-trip commute). #HateWinter

01/25 – 201.6 (-2.6), Friday info: 5389 steps, 10 of 12, 4hr19m (64); Friday was a very stressful short day at work. I had a major headache by the time I got home and I just didn’t want to adult anymore. I skipped family dinner and I skipped riding the bike. I went to bed late since I had to catch the late weather report to prepare for my drive to the barn Saturday morning. (Would we have rain or ice?) I slept like crap! I did stay under my calories for the day.

01/26 – 201.6 (0), Saturday info: 11155 steps, 9 of 12, 11hr23m (73); Saturday is barn day, as usual. We lost my show horse Spark (Dollywood Jac) in mid-June so I don’t have a horse in training but I still go and ride on Saturdays. I have a Fitbit Charge 3 now so it’s interesting to see my heartrate info for barn day. I had 7hr15m of fat burn, 8m of cardio, and 1m of peak (1903 calories). I ate WAY more food than on a typical work day but I burned wayyyyy more than a typical day. I was exhausted and went to bed early and don’t set an alarm on Sunday so therefore I record a higher # of sleep hours than usual.

01/27 – 203.7 (+2.1), Sunday info: 2201 steps, 5 of 12, 8hr8m (79); Sunday was an extremely lazy day. Hardly any tracking or moving. I pretty much sat in my chair and was either reading or napping. Unproductive day. I did attempt to get my 250 steps per hour later in the day but, it wasn’t much. Bleh! Overall, I did have a good 10 days. We’ll see everyone in 103.

Total for the round: -8.5

01/18 126.2 lbs No change.
01/19 126.2 lbs Again, sticking here exactly. But Girl Scout cookie season is here, and we've committed to buying tons of boxes from my neice, so... challenges are coming my way!
01/20 DNW
01/21 127lbs I'm not proud of it, but I didn't weigh in yesterday because I was worried I'd overdone on cookies and I just didn't want to face the scale. I know, I know. Old habits die hard! Relieved to see I'm doing fine. If "fine" means staying at the higher end of my maintenance range indefinitely!
01/22 125.2 lbs Yay! Nice to see my goal weight for this round, even if only for one day.
01/23 125.2 lbs Hey, two days in a row! Motivating.
01/24 **JUST REALIZED I MISSED A DAY HERE?! LOL! **
01/25125.2 lbs Three days in a row?! Hmmm, the real test will be this weekend.
01/26 124.6 lbs Cookies every day, thank goodness I'm tracking and staying in my range. I know the key to my success has been to allow daily treats. I'm simply not that good at waiting until the end of the week to enjoy dessert!
01/27 124.6 lbs Can't believe it! I'm feeling good about this- though today, I'll have to eat all meals out, and I expect the scale will reflect this tomorrow, aka the next round.

I stopped participating, because I found weighing every day was daunting and discouraging for me. Weight can fluctuate 1-4 pounds a day. And not seeing steady progress- I ended up feeling discouraged and apathetic. So I'll go back to weighing in every 3 -5 days, with the flexibility to skip depending on conditions only I know.

Congratulations to you all for finding a method and support system that works for you. I'll keep looking next time I need the reach out. Thanks and keep going!

Good for you for knowing what works for you and what doesn’t. I’m still taking part here because it helps keep me on track but I’m only weighing in occasionally. There’s no rule that says you have to weigh in every day and I hope you try it again on your own terms.

@BSchoberg I was just looking at your round history and wanted to say way to go!! You have been so consistent!!

@deepwoodslady Donna, glad your sugar levels got back where they needed to be and that you are ok! Weight loss is a tricky enough business without the T2D. You are a winner, though, and your dedication will see you through. Hugs!

Thanks for that! I am sometimes frustrated with the slow pace, but I know it's best in the long run. And I'm in it for the long run.

1/21 161.7 0 miles Very frustrated with weight and food and all of it. The same thing happened in January last year. I just lost my way after doing well over the holiday. I've not been eating great though I'm still walking as much as possible. I'm still tracking but not being 100 honest with it. A lot going on in my life right now - most of it very good but it's an excuse somehow to behave badly. I've been spending too much money and spending too many calories all on junk. If I would just drop the extra water I've been carrying around for almost 2 weeks I'd feel better.

1/22 162.1 3.3 miles I can't seem to avoid sodium. Ate back all my exercise calories yesterday. I got in a little more than three miles. It's snowing/raining/sleeting today so I don't think I'll walk. I don't mind walking in the snow, but the sleet makes it too slick. I'm just going to stick to my plan and what happens - happens with weight.. It will come down, I will continue to exercise.

1/23 164.0 0 miles Yes, I had Chinese for lunch. I went as low calorie as possible but the sodium was high. My calorie count was on target so I'm trying to not worry. I started with extra water yesterday and I will continue to drink more today. I feel like the first 30 pounds flew off and the last 20 has been holding on for dear life. Still too snowy and cold for walking. I'm going to the gym tonight and since I've been so spotty with it I know I'll be sore tomorrow. Maybe that's what I need and little pain to remind me.

1/24 163.4 0 miles Went to the gym last night, stretching and weights felt great. Down only slightly. I need more water to finish this bump. Still snowy and cold but if the snow stops I'm going to walk this afternoon.

1/25 163.8 0 miles Worked from home, snow/ice day. January and February really are the worst weather months for Missouri.

1/26 164 4 miles Went on a very cold walk that I really needed after the babies parent's picked her up. She was sick so we hung out, read books and cuddled. Being an Aunt isn't always glamorous days at the park.

1/27 164.0 3 miles Another good walk yesterday. Only 3 because I was having a little going away party at my house for a girlfriend that is moving to Hawaii. I will miss her, she's my long walk buddy. I made chicken soup in the crockpot (low cal and delicious) but also made spicey crab dip (delicious but not low cal). I did well, measuring my dip and counting wheat thins. A friend brought dessert which was my downfall; yellowcake with rich chocolate (homemade) icing. Even with all that I was 15 calories over with my workout calorie bump. My weight is up 5 pounds in the last almost 3 weeks. On no day was I over by more than 100 calories. It's so hard to keep things in perspective. Here is a pic from my walks, it was right around freezing and gloomy.

1/28 161.4 1 mile. Phone keeps messing up. I’m super happy the water is coming off.

Day/Weight/Comment

1/18 165.2lbs, 35.8%bf; 10h19m/89 - finally went to get some antibiotics for this bronchitis! Not worried about the gain - had a lot of beer and a LOT of sodium Thursday night. Drank a bunker of water. Still trending in the right direction.
1/19 164.2lbs, 35.5%bf; 7h55m - all that water did its job. 😊 Had a good day, got some stuff done and watched an AMAZING hockey game. 🦅🏒
1/20 164.6lbs, 35.6%bf; 8h13m/89 - needed that sleep!
1/21 164.4lbs, 35.6%bf; 7h10m/80 - good workout, long day at work, good night once I got home. All in all, a good day.
1/22 164.2lbs, 35.5%bf; 6h26m/78 - completely missed posting this day! LMAO
1/23 163.4lbs, 35.3%bf; 6h36m/79 - won't be shocked if I jump up a bit and slowly come back down.... that seems to be my pattern. Still... I don't hate this.
1/24 163.4lbs, 35.3%bf; 5h32m/71 - worst sleep in a while... have been feeling down this week. Need the weekend to reset, but it will be a busy one.
1/25 163.0lbs, 35.2%bf; 8h2m/90 - caught up a little on sleep, but still feel sluggish and a little blue. Big day with lots of people-ing on for today.
1/26 164.4lbs, 35.6%bf; 6h58m/78 - my typical pattern... lots to do today, but no eating out, so should be able to adjust.
1/27 163.2lbs, 35.3%bf; 6h44m/76 - not nearly enough sleep. Was a busy, but good day. Looking forward to hitting the gym this morning.

Ain't gonna lose it by having birthday cake at someone's party & not staying under in calories. Today will be a great day!!!

1/23 156.8 lbs

1/24 156.8 lbs

1/25 157.8 lbs

Hard to believe that I'm happy with a weight gain, but I am. It's been incredibly crazy & stressful the last few days, & I'm just happy NOT to be up by 5-10 lbs after today & yesterday.

So, if I can weigh in at 156.8 lbs or less at the end of this 10 days... I will actually be happy... this is because it's been very stressful & crazy and just have given in to myself.

It is 5:10pm on Saturday, Jan. 25th. We are going to my son's home for dinner & my brother & his wife from out of town... will be meeting us there, too. So, there will be a lot of food & my Daughter N Law loves to bake desserts.

I am commiting through this thread to only have a small serving of the brisket that my son has been smoking all day, and no potato salad. I will eat 2 servings of the green beans (I think 1/2 cup per serving), and just a bite of a cookie or cake... depending what she is making & only water to drink. I will not have any of the wine.

1/26 157.8 lbs

Did pretty good...
1/27 157.8 lbs

Well a gain of 1 lb this round. I know I’ve just been crazy messing around & not serious yet. I will get there. In the meantime, congratulations to all you wonderful people who lost, & hugs going out to the rest.

01/18 110.6, BF 26.3% weekend bump! Up one pound from last round, but this is my typical weekend pattern.

01/19 110.6 BF 26.3% no gain is a win for me!!! Especially over the weekend! Spin class, weight training and yoga today. Calories were good, but may have some DOMS tomorrow from lifting!

01/20 110.0 BF 26.2 Yeah! - weekend bump going back down but feels like Ground Hog Day - the movie, where I keep repeating this weekly pattern - lol.. Calories/macros were fine today and did get in a spin class for cardio. Will wait and see what tomorrow brings...

69 years old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...

...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 have March 10th as my hip surgery date...much better than April!

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.

In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.

In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs

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!"

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.
