Day/Weight/Comment
01/27 …..190.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/28 …..189.9 ….. A guesstimate of calories in are about 1800. Calories out 2834. 23,076 total steps & 10.18 Total Miles. 13/13 fitbit step hours. TRAVEL TODAY taking brother for some hospital testing including liver ultrasound.
01/29 …..191.8 ….. I did try to offset by walking 58 minutes at about 3.0 mph in my house last night burning 325 extra calories. Overall fitbit stats: Calories in unsure / Calories Out 2406. 14,315 Total Steps & 6.06 Total Miles. 11/13 fitbit step hours. I slept 4 hours & 27 minutes and am tired and groggy.
01/30 …..191.8 ….. Fitbit stats: Calories In unsure/Calories Out 2409. 14,465 Total Steps & 6.12 miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 29 minutes but it was a toss & turn horrible night. Tired today. I walked for 79 minutes with DGS #2 (age 11) at the school while DGS #1 was in tutoring and hopefully getting back on track (ADHD).
01/31 …..191.6 ….. Yesterdays ending stats: 1778 Calories In / 2554 Calories Out. 47 Net Carbs. 17,172 Total Steps & 7.27 Total Miles. 11/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 55 minutes and awoke refreshed. I walked after school in the halls.
02/01 …..191.6 ….. Best calculation: 2102 Calories In / 2566 Calories Out. 107 Net Carbs. 17,562 Total Steps & 7.43 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 6 minutes and woke up tired, needing more. I walked alone at the school in a power walk mentality at about 3.75 mph average for 123 minutes burning 742 extra calories.
02/02 …..192.0 ….. Best correct logging guestimation was 1933 Calories In / 2446 Calories Out. 124 Total Carbs. 10,268 Total Steps & 4.34 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit step hours. I slept 6 hours & 12 minutes. That is almost a (good) record for me. I woke up feeling great! My only planned exercise yesterday was a slow 2.5 mph walk at home for 21 minutes that burned 91 calories.
02/03 …..192.6 ….. 1802 Calories In / 2568 Calories Out. 77 Carbs. 12,188 Total Steps & 5.16 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 54 minutes and woke up incredibly tired but forced to get up. I prepped Superbowl food for 40 minutes burning 122 calories. I did light to moderate cleaning in the tourist cabins for 70 minutes burning 248 calories. Total extra burn 370.
02/04 …..192.3 ….. Flu (or pancreatitis or gall bladder attack?) hit bad yesterday afternoon. I was sick all night. Stayed in bed and in pain. That explains the drop on the scale. I really should have went to an emergency room but I live so far from one. If that gripping pain happens again, I will go in next time. No movement yesterday, all bed. I’m going to take it easy today too and not push it. I am feeling very hungry right now but afraid to eat. And my back is hurting from lying so long in bed yesterday. I am not used to that. Most nights I don’t even hit 5 hours so laying down that long is painful. I hope the day gets better.
02/05 …..192.6 ….. Up a little from probable water retention. I finally ate a little last night. I kept it very low fat to give my gall bladder and pancreas a rest, but it did have sodium. I am working very hard today (in my jammies) to keep it healthy but light. Thanks to all the well wishers. I love you all! For the past 2 days I have burned about 1900 calories for the day and kept the calories pretty low. No exercise. Today I am going to work on drinking lots of water (a little fearful of ANYTHING heavy in the tummy) and green tea (antioxidant). I hope to be back up and running (walking, actually) tomorrow. I am very sad that this whole round has went bad for one reason or another. I recommit every single day and then look in the mirror and find that I am still only human. I must become a stronger one with more will. After I feel better, I will pick up my bat and start swinging again. My arms may get tired, but I NEVER EVER stop wanting to win the game! Have a great hump day everyone!
02/06 …..192.1 ….. Better on the scale. Tummy doing somewhat better. I will know more when I eat today. For the next round I am going to try something different. Starting now for the next 10 days, I am going to try something new in the hopes of helping my gall bladder, my glucose numbers, yet still my weight. I will focus more on my calories and (a little) less on my carbs. I am hoping to rest my gall bladder from excess fat, raise my glucose numbers a bit but still see something positive on the scale. We’ll see how this experiment goes. With the lows that I keep hitting in my glucose (instead of high) I actually have to increase the carbs to be okay. So I am going to focus on calories but still make many good carb choices along the way. Example: No real rice, just cauliflower rice. Healthy low starch veggies (like zucchini and spinach) will remain in my recipes. Lower carb versions of things like sandwich wraps (carb smart). Spaghetti made with spaghetti squash, not noodles. But the main focus will be on lower calorie. Many of my recipes I use for low-carb food prep are already low in calories too, so I will continue with all my favorite keto and low carb foods for the most part. I am going to watch the fat because of my recent stomach attack (gall bladder?). No restrictions on what I can eat, just how much, while making some good choices that are somewhat more carb friendly (I don’t need my glucose going back sky high). I don’t know how this will work, but I’ll give it the next 10 days and find out. I will carefully monitor how I feel, what the scale is saying to me and what my glucose numbers are reading. I’m a bit fearful of this experiment on many, many levels but I won’t know until I try if it will help me in regards to T2D. I am also hoping that travel and restaurants won't hurt my bottom line so bad.
Here goes nothing!!!!!
@shunggie Thanks for the beautiful pic. It put a smile on my face for sure. Now.....if we could just get a few update pics from @GrandmaJackie of Pete, it would be wonderful!

Hi. My name is Trina.
I'm looking forward to a great 10 days with all of you! I let the holidays get to me in the end and put on a few pounds, which I am working on getting back off. Goal weight is 10 pounds away! I'm excited to reach it sometime this year!!

Day/Weight/Comment:
RSW 137
Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 138.5 -- A bit irritated. Yesterday was a good day, so no idea where this came from. Frequently, I guess I have a drop, bounce up and then go down to stay....but this still annoyed me!
01/29 138 -- Wishing it was better than this! Good day yesterday and I'm sticking to plan!
01/30 138 -- At least it isn't going up. Feeling a bit low energy yesterday and today.
01/31 137.5 -- I was really hoping the holiday weight gain would just come right back off. Sadly, it seems it wants to be a bit more stubborn than that. On the other hand, I'm only 5 pounds up since the start of chemotherapy, and the mastectomy before that. And my clothes still fit, and I'm feeling pretty healthy. And those 5 pounds mean I don't have to worry about maintenance for some time still. So I'm settling back into the it's a journey, not a destination. Glad to be on this journey with all of you!
02/01 138.5 -- Clearly I offended the scale and it is taking it out on me. It is refusing to reflect my virtue this week.
02/02 140 -- 6 mile fast hilly walk yesterday. It was a definitely a higher carb, higher calorie day, (I was a bit frustrated, plus my son made delicious chocolate chip walnut scones!)
but still within calories. I'm just trying to stick with the program. Presumably results will start happening again at some point.
02/03 140 -- Thought I did better than ok with superbowl yesterday. Clearly I breathed too many snacks.
02/04 141
02/05 141
02/06 140.5 I'm getting a bit frustrated. My net calories have been consistently below my target for 20 days, and yet my weight is the same as the one time high I saw 20 days ago. All through the holidays when I was weighing and not tracking I never got abobe 137.5. I'm retaining a bit of water, but I'm not sure at all what is going on. Sticking with it and yada yada yada. But I'm not happy!

Goal for this round is 100g of protein each day!🥩
Day/Weight/Comment
01/28--208.1 Water weight from tea 3 days ago. 105g
01/29--207.2 Water weight is starting to go. 100g
01/30--206.1 More water. Sore from workout yesterday. Going out for lunch today. 102g
01/31--206.1 Surprised weight not up after lunch yesterday, but may be up tomorrow. Today was supposed to be gym day, but I was so exhausted I gave myself permission not to go. 102g
02/01--207.0 There's the water weight. Rest day today. 102g
02/02--206.1 Did not get all my protein in because I didn't plan for it. I also realized that when I eat less protein, I ended up eating more calories. Strength coach today. 87g
02/03--205.2 More water weight. I had a great workout with my trainer yesterday and then, once the sun came out, I took the dog out for a long walk. Going to my chiropractor today for my monthly adjustment, and if the rain holds up, I'll take the dog out for another walk. 100g
02/04--205.4 Unexpected happy hour last night, so I don't know what my total protein amount was for yesterday. However, I only had 1 drink and shared an appetizer, so I'm happy about that. Strength coach today.
02/05--206.0 I had a tough workout yesterday. 100g
02/06--206.7 I was eating at 10pm last night to meet my protein goal. This was really a weird round, a lot of up and down, but between water weight from the end of the prior round, and going out to eat twice, the results for this round isn't that surprising. I do have to say that my workouts have definitely felt great over the last week, I really think it's the increase in protein. 100g

Round 103 - Jan.28 to Feb.6
Female, 5’, 66 years. SW – 165, GW – 163 something, UGW – 140. (This really should be 125 or 130 but that seems like such a long ways to go and 140 would be a huge improvement.) The 12 hr. IF along with everything else (portion control, watching calories in foods, exercise) seems to be working well for me.
This round I’m keeping on with IF and want to add getting to the gym 3x a week. I also want to better plan out my gym times. Right now I tend to get into it and spend about 1 ½ hrs. there and unconsciously I think that makes me put it off. If I can make it a real habit, even if it’s only 1 hr., in the end I’m ahead.
Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 – 165 – Good day at the gym yesterday. Guess that balanced the evening snack after practice.
01/29 – 165.6 – IF last night though I sure didn’t feel like it. I suppose that is the result of giving in on Monday. Off to the gym today.
01/30
01/31 – 164.6
02/01 – 164.8 – Made it to the gym yesterday. Snack last night so no IF.
02/02 – 164.8
02/03 – 165 – Lazy day but did remember to quit eating at 7:05. Sunday evenings are really random, often snacks all evening rather than a proper meal so the calories can easily get out of hand. Off to the gym today.
02/04 – 164.8 – Good workout at the gym. No IF.
02/05 – 166.2 – Good day yesterday but supper a bit late and salty – maybe that’s why the bounce? Really didn’t expect that this a.m. but tomorrow may show what it really is. More motivation to keep up with the gym today.
02/06 – 166.4 – Good workout yesterday and pretty productive day but was doing food prep in the evening and ate a little + salt. Supper was low cal. so I figured I could afford it. Apparently not. Keeping on and definitely going for IF every day next round.10 -

Original goal weight: 130 lbs (hit this January 11, 2020)
Goal this round: maintain weight (or lose a little), work out 4 times a week, do elbow physical therapy every day, try to play pickleball again... haven't played since January 4th.
I'm trying a new thing - only weighing in once a week or less and focusing instead on staying under my calorie goals, being active and eating enough protein. Will see how this affects my mood and performance.

Day/Weight/Comment:
01/28: Nailed my protein goal yesterday (95 grams), ate below calories and had a short but excellent upper body workout. Another really great workout this morning - a new to me lower strength day that kicked my butt and I had time for 25 minutes of cardio on top of it. Followed with a high protein smoothie, great start to the day and challenge for me.
01/29: Another great protein day (over 100 grams), also ate below calories and added some ab work at the end of the day when I did my elbow p/t. Hard to not get on the scale, waiting for the obsession to ease up a bit. Today is a rest day - which I will spend cleaning the house.
01/30: 95 grams protein yesterday and well under my calorie goal. I was so crazy sore yesterday from both the Monday and tuesday workout but felt great in the gym this morning. Tried a Pickleball game, nope, elbow is not ready. But I’m going to find a poor unsuspecting soul who will do drills with me left handed.
01/31: day 4 of not weighing in, I don’t like it at all. Told myself I’d wait til Monday, really going to try to stick to that. Over 100 grams protein yesterday, under calorie goal, great workout. Great workout this morning followed by hitting the Pickleball against the practice wall with my left hand for a while. Will continue that after workouts for a few days. I’m really sore from this week in the gym, pushed myself a lot. Looking forward to recovering over the weekend.
02/01: busy day, had guests over all day and we grazed in the kitchen the whole time. I tried to make good choices but it was a big change from always being aware of what I'm eating and logging it right away. Back on track tomorrow. Had to add a protein smoothie at the end of the day to get to my protein goal.
02/02: Another rest day for me, my body is happy for it and I'm already looking forward to working out again tomorrow. Grocery shopping/meal planning day. Planning to go for a brisk walk later.
02/03: Really had to finagle at the end of the day to get my protein macro met. It's hard for me to wrap my head around eating more if I have to to get the protein in. If I'm not going to bed hungry, it feels like I'm overeating.
02/04: Weighed in: 128.6 lbs. I have lots of reasons why I decided to step on the scale this morning but the truth is that I was just too curious. Happily surprised with the results. I also moved my body fat testing day to tomorrow because the machine I use (the Inbody230) states that you shouldn't work out for 10-12 hours before using it and tomorrow is my rest day so it works better than doing it Thursday. Great leg workout this morning followed by some pickleball drills and 2 pickleball games, played primarily with my non-dominant hand. It's a work in progress. Feels so very good to be on the courts again!
02/05: Body fat testing day: Weight at the body fat testing place was 128.5 lbs. My body fat percentage went down 2.5% in 4 weeks and my weight went down 5 lbs. According to the test, those 5 pounds were almost completely from fat and I gained about .5 lbs of muscle. So very cool to see that I'm on the right track. Took pictures and measurements this morning to compare to last month and I didn't see much of a difference but I never really do see the changes in the mirror. Will keep on keeping on.
02/06: 128.5 lbs. Great upper body workout this morning and played a lot of pickleball afterwards. My elbow is really upset with me though and I've decided to go back to the doctor about it. Of course, he doesn't have any openings for 5 weeks though
. Guess that gives me time to really commit to another 5 weeks of physical therapy in the meantime so I can honestly say I gave it a full 10 weeks. The good news is that I'm down 1.5 pounds for the round!

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!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 392.2 (-1.0)
01/29 392.8 (+0.6) – Cheesecake factory splurge, not bad at all. Enjoyed it and back on track. Still drinking a lot of water today. A lot of salt and calories to wash out. I should be in the blue tomorrow.
01/30 392.4 (-0.4)
01/31 393.4 (+1.0) – Had too many nibbles and bites yesterday. Logging it all today but I still may have a gain. I am not sure how my weekend is going to go. Going out tomorrow to a play and dinner out. I am thinking of taking some grilled chicken to super bowl party Sunday so I will have something in case everything is fattening. I am supposed to bring a nice dessert which means fattening. SIGH. But I am good with desserts. It is the other stuff that derails my efforts.
But I going to be focused over the weekend! I am going think next decade, next decade, next decade. I want to get into the next decade (389.8) by next Thursday! Have a great weekend Everyone! :flowerforyou: 02/01 393.6 (+0.2)
02/02 394.0 (+0.4)
02/03 393.8 (-0.2) – I had a great weekend. I did not maintain. I went up a little bit (0.4) -- not too bad at all considering. I enjoyed my food. I skipped the cakes at super bowl party. Ate protein, no cheese. No soda. Water only. Had popcorn. If I had skipped big breakfast, I probably would have lost the whole .4 pounds and some. I had sherbet for dessert after dinner Saturday and skipped the fattening dinner dessert. As normal water lower on weekends too. So, I have 3 days to get down to the next decade. No pressure! Lol….. After all that is only 4 pounds. Yikes!! All I can do is try! I must get out of the red first! lol Have a great week Everyone! :flowerforyou:
02/04 393.8 (0.0) – I was under calories. I did have a lot of sodium. It happens. Maybe I gained more than I thought on Sunday. Anyways, we will see tomorrow. I got in my steps yesterday and I did a nice walk too. Going good today also. I am just going to stay the course and it will come off eventually.
02/05 393.6 (-0.2) – I was over my calories. I was way over my goal steps which probably helped me not to have a gain. Well I will be very lucky to get a maintain at this point for this round. I had a very good session with my therapist last night. We talked about the importance of sleep. So, before I see her next week, I am going to be in bed by midnight 3 nights. I was in there last night so 1 down 2 to go! She was pleased with my progress even though I had not lost a lot of weight in 2 weeks.
02/06 393.0 (-0.6) – I was over my calories yesterday and did not get in my steps. I did not get in the bed before midnight. Today is a new day. I turned down Bundt cakes. I was still down today. I just could not rebound from early gains. Next round I am still keeping my same goal weight of 388. See you wonderful people in round 104! :flowerforyou:
Total change this round: (+0.8) (SW 392.2 CW 393.0 GW 388)
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.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 – 173.4 – Met my goals today, but had a high sodium lunch. Scratchy throat - Hope I’m not coming down with another cold.
01/29 – 173.4 – Holding steady. Gorgeous sunny day, so I was hoping to walk at the beach. Lost my voice after teaching back-to-back classes, so I skipped the walk on the windy boardwalk, did a couple of quick errands, and headed home to make a pot of tea and do some grading. Fortunately, I don’t have any classes tomorrow. Well under my calorie limit and drinking lots of extra fluids. Hoping that and an early night help me get back up to speed quickly.
01/30 – 172.6 – Nice to see another drop bringing me back to where I started the last round. Felt great after my gym session this morning. However, my 2-hr training workshop this afternoon required a lot more speaking than I’d anticipated, so my voice is even more strained. I seriously need to rest it tomorrow. Met my calorie, hydration, and exercise goals. If I do a quick load of laundry tonight, it’ll be a clean sweep
01/31 – 172.6 – January was a challenging month, but I’m happy to be ending it at a slightly lower weight than I started. This was my first week of really utilizing the campus gym, and it’s gone well but has eaten up a lot of time. The key will be keeping it up as the semester gets busier. My voice is on the mend, helped by lots of herbal tea and a bit of honey. Skipped the wine tonight and made a simple dinner with berries for dessert, banking some calories for the weekend.
02/01 – 171.6 – Woosh! Nice way to start a new month. Cool and dreary day, but my husband and I walked the marsh trail in the park after lunch. It was great to get out, even though we kept it short because DH isn’t a fan of damp, chilly weather. Made some progress on chores this afternoon and stayed within my calorie limit, even with a post-dinner snack of wine and chocolate.
02/02 – 171.8 – Managed to fit in another short walk at the park before my daughter and her family arrived for lunch. Went about 250 calories over today, but I’d banked plenty this week. The high sodium, however, will probably get me and I’ll likely see a bump up tomorrow. Not too worried though, as I’ve learned to take those fluctuations in stride. Just more reason to get right back on track.
02/03 – 171.8 – Honestly surprised not to be up today, but no complaints! A gorgeous, unseasonably warm day, so I opted for a walk at the beach rather than the gym. Lunch out with my daughter, but I had a lighter dinner and met my calorie goal. Got some laundry done and made a dent in the never-ending grading. Overall, a good day with all goals met.
02/04 – 171.8 – Another unseasonably warm day, like a promise of Spring! Tuesdays are my busiest day, but I made it to the gym between classes and even got to take a short walk outdoors when the sun came out. My NSV was discovering I could grade HW on my phone while keeping up a good pace on the recumbent bike – woo hoo! Only works for simple scoring or marking work complete, but what a timesaver! Met my hydration and calorie goals too 😊
02/05 – 171.2 – Nice! Especially if I can hang onto it for tomorrow. Dressed for the gym this morning but got bogged down with work and had to use this as a rest day instead. I’ll just have to step it up tomorrow. On the up side, I did get quite a lot done, both for my classes and at home. Good hydration, and just a bit (23 cal.) over my calorie limit. One more weigh-in to go.
02/06 – 170.8 – Surprised to be down again, but I’ll take it. All goals met again.
Round 103 results: - 3.6 lbs. A big win this round to balance out gains in 101 and 102. Patience and perspective are really paying off

Hi. My name is Trina.
I'm looking forward to a great 10 days with all of you! I let the holidays get to me in the end and put on a few pounds, which I am working on getting back off. Goal weight is 10 pounds away! I'm excited to reach it sometime this year!!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 138.5 -- A bit irritated. Yesterday was a good day, so no idea where this came from. Frequently, I guess I have a drop, bounce up and then go down to stay....but this still annoyed me!
01/29 138 -- Wishing it was better than this! Good day yesterday and I'm sticking to plan!
01/30 138 -- At least it isn't going up. Feeling a bit low energy yesterday and today.
01/31 137.5 -- I was really hoping the holiday weight gain would just come right back off. Sadly, it seems it wants to be a bit more stubborn than that. On the other hand, I'm only 5 pounds up since the start of chemotherapy, and the mastectomy before that. And my clothes still fit, and I'm feeling pretty healthy. And those 5 pounds mean I don't have to worry about maintenance for some time still. So I'm settling back into the it's a journey, not a destination. Glad to be on this journey with all of you!
02/01 138.5 -- Clearly I offended the scale and it is taking it out on me. It is refusing to reflect my virtue this week.
02/02 140 -- 6 mile fast hilly walk yesterday. It was a definitely a higher carb, higher calorie day, (I was a bit frustrated, plus my son made delicious chocolate chip walnut scones!)
but still within calories. I'm just trying to stick with the program. Presumably results will start happening again at some point.
02/03 140 -- Thought I did better than ok with superbowl yesterday. Clearly I breathed too many snacks.
02/04 141
02/05 141
02/06 140.5 I'm getting a bit frustrated. My net calories have been consistently below my target for 20 days, and yet my weight is the same as the one time high I saw 20 days ago. All through the holidays when I was weighing and not tracking I never got abobe 137.5. I'm retaining a bit of water, but I'm not sure at all what is going on. Sticking with it and yada yada yada. But I'm not happy!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 172.6
This year I saw numbers I never believed I'd see again. I'm back below the obesity mark and intend to stay. Ten years ago I promised myself no birthday or gastric bypass "surgiversary" would find me obese again. I'm revising this to overweight.
Only 28lbs separate overweight and obese and 33lbs a solid normal 24 BMI and obese. Going forward overweight per the charts is no longer acceptable to me.It's not about the charts. I experience changes with even small shifts in body fat.
This round I want to reduce blood pressure and heart rate. I'll only achieve this in the 160's and below. I'll lose as much as I can this round. Low carb, fasting, & fat burning exercise will get me there.
01/29. 173.2.
As much as I hate seeing the scale go up I'm comforted with the knowledge that I weighed in with a belly full. When I weigh at my heaviest time of day I've got a built in psychological cushion.
Yesterday and today where planned totally free days. Yay me, I fasted over 18hrs yesterday and maintained calorie control both days. This fasting/ restricted eating protocol helps me with appetite control. It's a big plus that I've come to enjoy it. No hunger and it just feels right. My appetite returns when it's time to eat usually after 16-18hrs.
01/30. 171.6
I'm praying I'll be in the 160's before my next medical in a couple of weeks. Today's eating has been nutritional crap giving me three days of high sodium, sugar & flour.
The sodium is no issue when balanced with sufficient potassium. I'm all good once I'm eating my greens again. Sugar and flour are my personal kryptonite. It's going to take the weekend for me to get these out of my system.
Fingers crossed, the weekend recovery period will win me a pound or two of water weight loss. I'm back on low carb and watching my water intake.
Getting enough is easy for me. My problem is getting too much then needing diuretics. I've been warned but the sipping habit is hard to break. Beverages are a great substitute when I want to nibble.
No time to read this thread over the last few days but I'll catch up this weekend. Wishing you all well and thanks for all of your much needed support.
01/31. 172.2
I've been mis behaving terribly leaving me feeling bloated and cranky. Once again calories low and macros crap. I really have to haul @$$ to drop the water weight over the weekend. My scrambled brain is overwhelmed making food an afterthought. That keeps the calories down but instead I eat what's easy instead of what's good.
02/01. 170.6
I'm seeing light at the end of this tunnel and I'm sure it's not a vehicle about to mow me down. I'll soon be out of the 170's in spite of myself.
It's very early for me to post my day but time is scarce. I'm declaring that I will stick to my plan today. If I do not it makes me a liar. Of course I am a liar but I reserve my lies for when it really counts. 😜
02/02 170.8
Damn that road to hell paved with good intentions! Perhaps I should start with my personal evils so I'll be lead to my personal good. Once again I went with easy over nutrition.
Won't give up can't give up. Calories & fasting periods are under control and I will beat the carb monster too.
02/03. 170.6
Net carbs were awesome yesterday so my high total carbs may be excused given it is mostly fiber. Protein was way down because my calories were low due to a short eating window and a long fasting period. I'm still carrying water weight but if I can stay off of the flour and sugar I'll finally break through to the 160's.
02/04. 169.0
I'll pat myself on the back for 20 fasting & under 4 fed hours for the day but I'm also scolding myself. This is the longest I've been over my low weight in nearly ten years. I should never have let this annual yo-yo thing begin. Back to basics all day every day will keep me within my optimal weight range. This is my lifetime diet. Still, I'm overjoyed to see the 160's again.
02/05. 169.6
Yesterday I hoped to do a 4 hour restricted eating window with my intermittent fast but I extended it to 6 hours. I got hungry struggling with paperwork that kept me up late. Calories are low & macros look good with fiber making up most of my carbs. Yesterday included a little vodka. Just a bit since I can't hold my booze like I used to. I'm getting accustomed to working my revised plan.
02/06. 169.6
Till a break from time restricted eating today. It's been a high carb day but protein and calories are just right. I noticed how I've felt a bit over stuffed eating throughout the day as compared to having a first meal late in the day. Surprising since I've not been over eating or grazing.
As my system adjusts to this new eating pattern I'll find my sweet spot Happily I'm down by three. .8 -

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 – 203.7 (0); Monday info: 1784 steps, 1 of 12, 5hr44m (74): I am NOT going to lie. I took a mental health day from work b/c I just couldn’t face the world. I hate the cold weather. I have been going non-stop for what feels like too long. I didn’t track a single item. I ate like crap. I sat on my butt all day. I had just had enough and needed a break. Bleh! **Okay, now that I’ve gotten that out of my system…back to the grind. All better now. 😊
01/29 – 204.1 (+0.4); Tuesday info; 7035 steps, 8 of 12, 5hr40m (73): Trying to pick myself up off the floor and get 100% back on track has proven difficult (which is normal). I was swamped at work all day which is probably the only reason I managed to get over 7K in steps. I felt like I was running all over the office like a crazed nutjob. I managed to track 2 meals and then faltered at home. (Missed journaling yesterday as well.)
01/30 – 204.9 (+0.8); Wednesday info: 5286 steps, 8 of 12, 5hr18m (71): No provider at work so we had all day in-service with our soon to retire manager and our brand new manager who is taking over 100% on Monday. Lots of tears as our office has been through A LOT with our retiring manager in the last 3+ years. I only managed to track breakfast. Taco bar potluck during the meeting. Skipped the desserts! #win (Just realized that I’m getting close to “shark week” so I’m PMS’ing. NomNomNom StressStressStress)
01/31 – 202.5 (-2.4); Thursday info: 5132 steps, 7 of 12, 6hr5m (78): Pretty standard long day at work. Trying to do Greek yogurt and my protein drink for breakfast instead of buying bagel/cream cheese at the Bistro in my building. The protein drink is 24oz of water and seems to hold me thru to lunch at 1:30pm. I’ve packed my lunch every day (instead of buying at the Bistro). I skipped my office party for retiring manager which meant no eating out! Also, did NOT have any diet pop after work! Trying to get more water in.
02/01 – 201.7 (-0.8); Friday info: 5303 steps, 8 of 12, 5hr12m (71); Friday was an odd day. Partial day of work and then office closed to attend my manager’s big retirement party. I stayed away from the cake and had some healthy finger foods. Friday night is always the night that my Dad’s side of the family gets together for dinner. This time it was Old Bag of Nails. I did the chicken cobb salad with balsamic dressing (usually I’m a blue cheese fan). I had one bottle of Diet Coke (with breakfast at work). Water at dinner and tea at home. Yay! ((My barn friends don’t drink pop so they have been ragging on me A LOT about it lately.))
02/02 – 200.5 (-1.2); Saturday info: 2459 steps, 4 of 12, 8hr52m (84); Saturday I was stuck at home. My trainer cancelled barn day due to questionable weather for those of us who travel. I didn’t really track much after breakfast and wasn’t mindful about house-walking when my Fitbit alerted me to get up and move on the hour. I was either reading or watching movies. This is typical when I am stuck at home and it is cold outside. This is just life.
02/03 – 203.1 (+2.6); Sunday info: 2053 steps, 4 of 12, 6hr27m (82); Sunday was an extremely lazy day. I was up late watching movies (like 2am) and didn’t set an alarm to get up so it was after noon before I came downstairs. I ate whatever and didn’t really walk much. I did attempt to get my 250 steps/hr for my Fitbit a few times before the Super Bowl started. Now this is my typical Sunday. While I don’t count it as a cheat day, it’s more of a day where I don’t feel I have to be 100% accountable if I don’t want to be. Not all Sundays are this bad. I usually pick myself up and get back into my tracking routine on Monday.
02/04 – 201.8 (-1.3); Monday info: 7119 steps, 4 of 12, 5hr52m (76); Monday was a LONG day at work. Must have been at my desk quite a bit. We started a new fitness challenge that is company-wide so I’m attempting to increase my steps and ride the recumbent bike. Back on track with my eating. Logged 100% yesterday. Still not getting to bed when I should. Are we getting ready for Round 104?
02/05 – 201 (-0.8); Tuesday info: 8305 steps, 5 of 12, 5hr34m (73); Tuesday was another long day at work but I stayed strong. My eating was on spot. I did protein shake closer to my ending time and took it with me for my drive home so I didn’t get “HANGRY” and do a drive-by on my way home. #Win (Save $. Eat better.) I managed to get 23 minutes on my recumbent bike while watching my Buckeyes beat TTUN in b-ball. #Win #Win 😊 Worried about some bad weather coming in so I stayed up to watch the news for the weather report. (Should have gone to bed and just caught the morning report.) Ready and excited for Round 104!
02/06 – 201 (0); Wednesday info: 8196 steps, 8 of 12, 5hr34m (82); Wednesday was a short day at work and it was quite stressful. I managed to do well with my eating and exercise. I rode the recumbent bike for 24 minutes this time. I had more pop last night than nights before but I’m not perfect. On to round 104. 😊

01/28 108.2, BF 25.6% Losing weekend bump about as fast as it came on! Discovered website NetNutrition that lists all nutrition info for eateries on campus that lets you build up nutrition info by items for each meal! Good news is that most of my guestimates were within 50 calories of the those on the site. Using Loseit for food diary as MFP kept creating double entries (did not show in phone app) but were imported into Apple Health Kit which made figuring adjusting calories and TDEE for this last 5 pounds really hard! I can import all entries from the NetNutrition site with my phone camera quite easily and create my typical meals. Bad news is that my selections for Indian food today at lunch had more sodium than what I typically have in a day (over 2000!). Expect that will have some impact tomorrow… But at least going forward I can preplan lunch before heading out! Exercise good - weights with trainer (sore!) and yoga (am) and plan on cycle after work to help loosen up quads.
01/29 108.6, BF 25.7% pretty good - food retention (got to work on fiber timing/intake so the poop fairy visits before weigh in :-), sodium, and DOMS (BB back squats, BB bench press, cable chops yesterday) but weight within typical daily variation (seriously need to get a foam roller for my office!) Today - cycle class after work followed by kettle bell class from 7-8. Big lunch today (latin bowl) so will be eating a lighter dinner after class as not sure if the format for kettle bells will be circuit or tabata - cannot do a tabata format after eating!!!
01/30 108.0, BF 25.6% Killer cardio yesterday! Did spin class at uni gym, had a protein bar then went to kettle bell class at other gym - only two of us there! Fortunately it was a circuit format, but felt exhausted by the end of it - need to work on situps with the kettle bell and wrist strength on right side so that I can do a clean with a heavier weight for the OH press and not leave bruises on my forearm! Light dinner (ate most calories at lunch), then caught up on email, bath and bed. Too much cardio activity at that hour, however, did not lead to restive sleep (although hope it kept burning fat - lol). Next class is on Monday (tabata) so definitely not doing back to back classes! Except for my bruised arm, feel good today. Last of my workout A for Stage 6 in “Strong” (the 4x4 series), then last B workout on Sunday and will be excited to start Stage 7 next week!
1/31 107.0, BF 25.3% Yeah! Back to weight from last Friday! Moderate evening cycle last night and then refueled on “Caramelized Shallot Pasta” (from recent NYT recipe) and huge green salad. Nice to see a loss after pasta, but calories and exercise were on target! Seafood order for pickup at the Farmer’s Market Saturday is in and have dinners preplanned so as long as I don’t eat lunch out (too much sodium/fat/carbs) and avoid late night snacking on fritos/tortilla chips hope to minimize the weekend bump and stay below 108! (i.e can sometimes do one or the other but not two meals out and LNS). Looking at my typical calorie in/calorie out pattern, I tend to "refeed" on weekends (eat back more exercise calories), which is probably needed, which makes it so more important to look at the longer turn trend.
2/1 109.0, BF 25.8% Kids had BB game last night so did not get home until 8, so later dinner than normal - chicken mushroom stroganoff. did not avoid the LNS with tortilla chips, so may have some water retention. Step aerobics class today so less intense cardio and yoga at home.
2/2 108.8, BF 25.8% Nice to see a drop on the weekend! Overall weight is down 2.8 lb from last Sunday - lots of fluctuations as eating around maintenance calories so good to get use to the range of variability before really going into maintenance. Ate into some of the exercise calories today - went to women’s basketball game and had an impossible burger with fries - ate half of the fries and gave the rest to DH. Dinner was fish tacos at home so overall higher carb day and with eating out for lunch today may see a sodium bump tomorrow.
108.0, BF 25.5% Yeah - back to 108 ! Much better job at “maintaining” over the weekend and keeping weight around 108! Super cycle class this am (was in peak heart rate zone for 46% of the class!). Kettlebell class tonight at 7 - hopefully I will have recovered enough in case the format is a tabata style class!
2/4 107.2, BF 25.3% **One Year Anniversary of this Weight Loss Journey** Hard to believe it has been one year, but made my original goal weight by my birthday in December, had to work on maintaining that, and continue to work on revised goal of 105 (maybe in a month). Rather than weight, my primary goal is reducing body fat (so that may take a year+) via recomp (easing into that and eating at maintenance). I always wondered why people recommended going slower closer to goal (I don;t think it is necessary from a science/weight loss perspective). However it does make the transition into maintenance a bit easier with the gradual increase in calories and getting used to the variation in weight to expect at maintenance. While I try to keep protein high to support weight training my carb or fat macros are not as consistent day to day, so that and sodium tend to lead to wider fluctuations in water weight day to day. To all out there reading this, keep up the great work and thanks for all of your support along the way!!!
2/5 106.6, BF 25.1% New low (0.2 below previous low) so hoping to hang in the 107’s (avg trend weight is 107.7) over the next week or so. Good exercise day yesterday - yoga, new weight workout with trainer am, then cycle class after work. Skipped protein bar before cycle as not enough time for it to digest prior to class so had a surplus of calories for the day after dinner. Ended up trying the “Seis Leches Cake” from NYT https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1020805-seis-leches-cake that I had made (we were down to 4 peices left so between DH and the twins cleared that out of the frig!) The six milks are evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, sweetened condensed coconut milk, dulce de leche, and heavy whipping cream - one slice comes in at 399 calories (less since I made the sponge cake with Swerve sugar substitute) I started with just a half piece but decided to finish the slice! The coconut and dulce de leche flavors are great (but I might drop the sweetened condensed milk or use unsweetened coconut cream to make it less sweet if I make it again) Really nice to be able to fit in an indulgent dessert now and then at this point! Thanks for all of the MFP-anniversary wishes! This group has really helped with accountability and keeping me on track - it means a lot!
2/6 107.2, BF 25.3% 3.2 loss for this round! And made STG of staying below 108 (and did make it below last rounds low, so should be able to get back there next round)! Hopefully have left holiday gain/plateau behind and can hold on around 107 (or less). 2.2 pounds to goal weight (maybe 2-4 weeks) and then recomp time to reduce BF/build more muscle. Ready for the next round!

You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine. - John C. MaxwellMy goal for 2020 is to get into ONEderland and making it stick. Changing my life.
Plans:
- Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target 70k steps per week
- Drink more water (target min 64 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
- Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020)
- Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
- Drink less alcohol (3 AF days per week; ~12 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

"I NEED" ... I need to get my head examined or get my head back into the game! It is my personal goal to lose weight. It is not for others. I'm doing this for me because I am important. I need to put myself first and get my butt in gear with an exercise routine and better eating habits. This is a lifestyle that I need to make a habit. I need to focus to get the scale to move in the right direction

@merph518 CONGRATULATIONS on a great job!1
-
Looking forward:
- February: I need to focus on getting back to where I was pre-Christmas
- 2020: Goal is to stabilise weight around 145
- Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
- Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
- Cut down on eating between meals
Never give up! Never give in!2018:2020
My goal was to get down below 160, to allow me to enjoy the indulgences of holidays and celebrations.
2019
I exceeded that and have been below 150 for most of the last 2 months.
In 2018, I put on 10 lbs over the last 2 months of the year.
In 2019, I consistently lost weight since the end of July. I put on about 4lbs over the Christmas break, but was still below my original 2019 goal.
That's a WIN in my book!
I need this more than ever now that I am in maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

37yo, 173cm/5'8" female in Amsterdam
Start weight: 74kg
Goal weight: 70kg
My body is my ally
R102 EW: 73.1kg
Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 73.2kg - no exercise, 16.5hrs hrs fast
My eating window was a bit longer yesterday as dinner took long was quite small and I then had a bunch of snacks, silly me. Today, I stayed home sick, sore throat turned into feeling overall unwell. So hardly any steps and no exercise.
01/29 73.1kg - no exercise, 16hrs
Still off sick. I have to accept that I won't meet my step, running or yoga goals this week. It would be nice if Fitbit had an option to add this and put goals on pause.
01/30 72.8kg - no exercise, 15hrs fast
Back to work for the day as it is my bosses last day. But I'm not 100% well and will stay home again tomorrow.
01/31 72.6kg - no exercise, 17.5hrs fast
Stayed home, sick again feel better. No exercise, just went for a walk which was good. Hopefully I can sneak in a short run on Sunday.
January stats:
- 13 runs, 72km
- 20 days of YWA Home done
- each week I walked+ran more than 50km
- average fasting time: 15.7hrs
02/01 72.4kg - YWA Home Day 21+22, walk, 17hrs fast
Started the day with yoga.
I'm very happy with this loss rate, but fasting is easier when home and sleeping longer. So I need to consider my meeting schedule for my eating schedule. I already know stress eating will be a problem, so will aim to take chopped veg for that. Anyway, it's Saturday, why am I already worrying about work?
02/02 71.8kg - YWA day 23, 16.5hrs fast
Wow that was unexpected. I didn't eat much yesterday, but still. I'm sure this won't last, but a bump down is still nice to see. Having a very emotionally draining weekend, but on the plus side I didn't stress eat.
Average fasting time this week: 16.5, up from last week! Back to work tomorrow, see how this week will go.
Average weight this week: 72.7kg, down 0.6
02/03 71.9kg - YWA day 24, 16hrs fast
I ended up doing a yoga session before bed last night, which was really good. Today, i'm back to work as normal and it may be a long work day, but I ordered lunch so I can have the second half later in the day and won't need dinner when I get home late.
02/04 71.7kg - YWA day 25 (before bed), 13hrs fast
Got home late yesterday, stayed up late, snacked late and had wine. Bad news at work plus difficult situation at home. But the loss is positive. Today wasn't much better, at least I skipped the wine.
02/05 72.4kg - 13.5hrs fast
02/06 72.4kg - YWA day 26,hr fast
TOM arrived early, weight shows stress, snacking, wine and short fasting. Good loss for the round nonetheless.
R103: 73.1-72.4 = -0.7kg!!3 -
@holli1ch Is your scale digital? Have someone else (lighter or heavier) step on your scale or get on holding a heavy item. It may “wake” your scale. If it’s not digital, I would say you just aren’t seeing the daily fluctuations. Hang in there!2
