02/05 - DNW - running out for an appt and forgot to weigh, and no way will I weigh in the evening. I look like I'm 5 months pregnant in the evenings - what the $%&* is that all about? Still too much salt and not enough water probably. I'm ready to start a new round
02/06
10-day goal: Weigh less than 175.0.
Tracking my next goal: hit 160's again!!
Round 103 Daily Details02/02 - 176.4 I'm back home from the place where diets go to die
- the place where I grew up, a small town outside of Atlanta, GA. I didn't cave this time though! Thanks to a solid foundation built through MFP and this group for 30+ days! Even though I did not track my calories or exercise, I ball parked calories and kept them in check, not to lose but to maintain. I was not going to let 5 days derail all my hard work! So thank goodness! I'm back home and ready to start tracking and exercising again. The scale is up 1.4 pounds and I'm happy with that compared to what it could have been. I had lots of salt but compared to other times where I go off the charts with my eating, it just continues to boost my confidence that I can really do it this time! So YAY!!
02/03 - 175.3 Didn't quite get back in the groove of things with exercise, water, etc. yesterday or today, but will tomorrow.

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.

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 (Thursday)
Total change this round: (+1.4) (SW 392.2 CW 393.6 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.

This round goal to just lose - aim to stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking & refrain from attacking the cookie jar and left over Christmas chocolates – plan is to put them in DH lunch box each day 'til they're gone!! - there are still residual bits hanging around hubby will have finished them by end of this week!End of round 69 134.2 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 136 – 3.84 miles walked only yesterday – still off plan following loss of my Dad 3 days ago. Got my head together this morning & back in the game, hope to be able to get 9 mile walk in today in between phone calls, making arrangements etc. regarding Dads passing.
01/29 134.4 8.93 miles walked yesterday, good to be back on track, all macros and calories well in green. NSV – didn't turn to food when I was frustrated with red tape & bureaucracy regarding delay in issue of Dad's death cert to finalize funeral, in fact I didn't even realize that until this morning!!
01/30 134.4 – 11.52 miles walked yesterday, all calories & macros well in green. Finally caught up with all the posts, took me the last 2 days to catch up from the start of the round. Once again, thank you all for all your kind wishes and prayers, can't tell you enough how much this lifts me. This group is the best!
01/31 133.4 – 10.34 miles walked yesterday, calories & all macros in green. All Dad's funeral arrangements finalized albeit can't get fitted in for a further 4 ½ weeks !!?. Feeling more less anxious now.
02/01 133.8 - 9.74 miles walked. Carbs 34 over, but calories & all other macros in green. Come away for a weekend in our caravan for a chilling weekend, we're near to our DD & will be seeing our brand new baby grandson & his cute brother later today ? .
02/02 133.8 - 7.53 miles walked yesterday. Calories 211 over, carbs 49 over. Lovely day with 22 month old DGS#1, took him to a country park, kept him out for 5 hours which gave DD & SIL chance to catch up on 3 hours sleep as tiny baby delightful DGS#2 is sleeping all day and breast feeding all night - well cluster feeding anyway. Such a lovely day.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 79.2 kg ate a lot and was not satisfied probably because of hormones. But I stuck to keto foods, just ate over calories. which was okay, I am still in a deficit over a few days.
01/29 79,2* k 18 hrs, stuck to the routine. Was for a short while hungry after work at a late hour. It's always the same, I have too much adrenaline after work in my body (I guess) which makes me hungry until I am able to relax. Now it's sort of okay with a bit of mindfulness/ meditation.
01/30 79,2* Had two meals - that seems to be a regular when I have a non-fasting day, haha, and hormones are not interfering. All good. A ring now fits on my right hand. Before it didn't fit at all, then only on the left. Non-scale progress.
01/31 79.2*kg Fasting day, went well. was under calories.
02/01 79.2*kg Had a big ribeye steak and about 100% of calories. Unfortunately late at night I ate a snack - pork rinds - which means that my fast for tomorrow should go to 6:30 pm. Now I am feeling too full from this small snack. Stupid hormones, I wish my body would make up its mind beforehand...
02/02 79.1 kg Ah well, it's the time before TOM, that late snack yesterday night, so probably water retention. Good thing is another jeans fits again - haha, with a small muffin top by the stomach. So my body is changing for the better. Just would be nice to see it on the scales too.
02/03 79.1* kg Fasted for 18.5 hrs and was well under calories AND feeling totally full. Fasting got a bit difficult around lunchtime, so I drove to another town and went for a long walk for distraction. That worked well - and I got some slight exercise in even though it was raining. Win-win.
02/04 79.1* kg ate under my cals. stopped eating at 4pm, so tomorrow starts from 12am if I want to. Oh, and I measured myself after one month doing IF/keto and lost quite a lot: 1cm on the arms and quite evenly 3 cm on the whole upper body. I am at least 1 to 2 sizes down:-) Right now it's the days before TOM, so a bit more water but that will pass soon enough.
update a few hours later: Oh my, suddenly the hormones got the better of me, I was suddenly totally tired without any reason and got a total crave for really anything with milk. I never ever have that. It was strange but I tried to give my body what it needed and bought different options and tried to stay keto/ low carb as much as possible. I got keto icecream, mascarpone for keto tiramisu, and some other milk products to have some variety for that special want. I ate some of that variety following what my body wanted, the rest I will freeze. I don't think that craving will stay on for longer. Hormones...so crazy...
And yeah, I am now over calories for today but still under them on average for the last few days. So everything is still okay and I didn't get triggered with sugar, I am even still in the keto range for today. I am totally satisfied now. No craving anymore. It was kind of fascinating to watch myself/ my body during this strange episode. Somehow obviously there was something in milkproducts what my hormones needed. And I am much more awake again. Something got balanced out. Ah well.
02/05 79.1* kg Was well under my calories and stopped eating at 4pm. When I later got offered snacks I chose 3-4 cashews just for being polite. I won't count this as a break of the fast, it's such a small amount, not worth it. Life happens and it might have minimally spiked my insulin for maybe 5 minutes. I can live with that.
02/06 77.8 kg Yes!! Fasted for 20 hrs. was under calories and got a good night's sleep. total loss this round of 1.6 kg11 -

At the moment I'm working on having a calorie deficit diet and portion control. Hope to incorporate more exercise.
01/28 - 169.2
01/29 - 168.5 - ~1400cals and hardly any snacking. Will try to work on moving more.
01/30- 168.4 ~1400 again and no exercise but my smartwatch should be arriving soon and will hopefully motivate me. With little ones it just gets so busy or am I just making excuses.
01/31 - 168.2 ~1600cals. Ended up having chicken pie for dinner as hadn't prepped anything Sleep: 6hr32mins. Steps: 5000
02/01 - 168.2 I do think my scales are playing up though I got a few different weights this morning. 168.0-168.4. Started the treadmill even though it was for a measly 15 minutes but still a start. Ate around ~1700cals so need to rein that in if I want to see significant losses.
Sleep:8hrs steps: 7000
02/02 168.2. Again. pretty much on track with food and went for a walk that I felt so much better for so quite disappointed with the non moving scales. Sundays are always at my familys for dinner so preparing for a gain. sleep: 7.5 hours steps: 8000
02/03 - 167.8. 1500cals. Kept myself in check at the dinner but still struggling to get the exercise in. Steps-2500 sleep: 7 hours
02/04 - 168.2. 1400cals. Been on track. Steps: 6000. Sleep. 6.5hrs

Goals
1 - Track my calories daily
2 - 10.000 steps
3 - Water 1.5l
My main goal this round is to get my daily steps in, also we've started using the stairs at the office (we're on the 6th floor of a shared office building), it's turning into a bit of a challenge between us I've started doing it at home as well as we live on the 4th floor, but we can't always do that as we often have shopping to bring up.
Date – Weight in of the morning– Summary of the previous day:
01/28 - 151.6 (+0.6) 1225 cal, 11.257 steps, no idea where that gain came from, maybe TOM? I woke up feeling bloated. Anyway I'll just keep on doing my thing I'm not having much time to do anything but run around getting stuff done. Tonight we're visiting 2 high schools for my daughter as we have to decide for enrollment next week, I think I'll just grab an energy bar somewhere so I don't end up starving and eating the wrong thing at one of the open days treats
01/29 - 150.2 (-1.4) 1174 cal, 8192 steps, that's a bit of a whoosh and a new low although I have no idea why though! Yesterday I hit my calorie goal around 4 pm as I didn't want to eat junk food while running around in the evening, so I'm guessing it's the longer "fast" period that I'm used to (I normally don't eat between 6.30 pm and 9.30 am). Maybe just skipping dinner works for me but I like having my dinner with my daughter in the evening, I'll have to see. Today nothing special planned except that there's more running around tonight so I might skip dinner again.
01/30 - 150.2 (0.0) 1378 cal, 5351 steps, I'm quite surprised that it's the same number as I was over calorie yesterday and not hardly enough steps were done! I'll have to make sure I'm careful today so that it doesn't creep back up on me tomorrow as I've noticed that sometimes it takes 48hrs to show the gains from excess. Today is going to be quiet, I've had a splitting headache since Tuesday which is slowing evolving into a migraine, so I'm going to concentrate on making it through the day till I can get home and crash...
01/31 - 150.2 (0.0) 1181 cal, 8065 steps. Status quo, which is good. I've got a busy social weekend so I expect a gain over the next few days... luckily the round doesn't finish on Monday
02/01 - DNW
02/02 - DNW
02/03 - 152.2 (+2.0) I knew this was going to happen, the weekend was very busy, I didn't log all my food and didn't get to weigh-in, I'll be spending the next few days trying to get down to a more reasonable number before the end of the round.
02/04 - 153.2 (+1.0) 1097 cal, 10016 steps Ok really disappointed here, I even stepped several times on that scale to make sure I was reading correctly
I suppose it's still a backlash from the weekend but as I was under calorie, ate healthy and got my steps in so I thought I'd see a little drop instead of another gain. It certainly didn't put me in a good mood but I suppose I'll just have to get over it and get on with it 
02/05 - 150.8 1002 cal, 7188 steps, it was a relief to see the number drop this morning. Yesterday, I made sure I was under calories, ate healthy and drank lots of water. I'm hoping another day like that will get me down to my desired weight goal for this round then back up to 1200 cal as I think under that number is not so good in the long term for me.
02/06 -149.2, (-1.6) 1167 cal, 8832 steps, gym workout 1h. First time seeing under 150! So I'll just leave that here and continue doing my happy dance

Started a very low calorie diet on Jan 17. I have ended each of the last 5 years heavier than I have ever been before. Have a very complicated, very unhappy relationship with food. Am hoping taking the thinking and choice out of it - by focusing on low-calorie ready meals - can help me get where I am trying to go.

02/06 - DNW. Wowzers! I wish I knew how to put a 'spectacular implosion' emoji here. I ate probably about a billion calories yesterday. Give or take. Carb cravings were off the chart. Could be the build up to TOTM. Or that self-sabotage is just my thing. Anyway, new day, new round. Looking to be consistent for the whole of Round 103.

Goal 121- half of my former self
Ultimate Goal- Maintain under 130
Goal every round is to get that average down by any number but seeing 145 would definitely make me do a happy dance (how many calories does that burn?)
R101 Average- 148.1
R102 Average- 147.0
1/28- 148
2/03- 150
2/04- 148.5
2/05- 149.8
2/06- 148.4- I’m glad this round is over. I had a planned high weight of 154 to kick start a weight loss competition. Now to win the competition!!!! It was mentally a little tough to see 150 after making solid progress in January. Round one 104, here we come!

@NdinonziIris - just a thought - you're on a very low calorie diet and using low calorie ready meals - how much sodium is in those? Is it possible that is causing you not to lose weight? Are they counter productive?
Hi @musicsax, hopefully this is the right way to reply to messages on here...I am not tracking sodium. The only thing I am really tracking is carbs, i.e. making sure that the combination of meals I opt for does not get me out of ketosis. I am putting the stagnation of my weight loss down to water retention (am about 1 week away from TOTM) and the fact that I dropped a lot of weight in the first two weeks. Will see what happens in the next round.6 -
quiltingjaine wrote: »@NdinonziIris What exactly are “ready meals” and how low are your calories?
Hi @quiltingjaine , I guess the definition of ready meals varies, according to which protocol one follows. In my case, it's either shakes, bars, or just-add-water types of meals.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 - 145.5 - I'm a little surprised I'm still up a half pound from last week, but maybe it's from starting the planking. I can definitely feel the muscles burning even though I'm only holding for 20 seconds.
01/29 - 145 - OK, back to last week's weight.
01/30 - 145.5 - I will continue to weigh and log my food daily as I have done most of this month and believe that I will eventually get back below 145. Someday...sigh.
01/31 - 145.5 - Someday...
02/01 - 145.5 - I ended up having an extra carby, sodium filled supper last night, so I'm just glad that didn't hit me this morning. In the meantime, while I wait for my body to catch up with my diet, I'm going to join a challenge for planking. At least that way if the scale isn't moving, I'll feel like I'm accomplishing something.
02/02 - 144.5 - It's been a while since I've seen this number. Super Bowl party tonight, so I don't think I'll see it tomorrow but at least it's a downward trend.
02/03 - 144 - I ate a little bit of everything at the party last night but didn't go overboard. The carbs may hit tomorrow, but this unexpected drop reminds me that I have to work through those plateaus and not get discouraged.
02/04 - 144.5 - I am fine with this little bump from the weekend. Now if I can stay below 145 the rest of the round, I'll be thrilled.
02/05 - 143.5 - Woohoo, I haven't seen this number since before Thanksgiving!
02/06 - 144 - I'm very happy to end the round at this weight! On to the next.

02/06 - 149.0 - I'm very okay with this -- started where I ended and maintained despite the Superbowl and traveling. I'm just happy to stay under 150 for an entire round! Next round I'm hoping for some loss to give more buffer between me and 150 but I have 10 days with (so far) no traveling or anything that could stall weight loss planned.
Previous Day's Comments01/28 - Holding steady. TOM finally arrived and so this uptick from my low last round must have a little influence from that. Traveling for work today so a 2 hour commute each way ): At least I get paid mileage reimbursement at a good rate for it. Get to talk to my boss today for a question he had about my pay 2 weeks ago. He didn't approve my pay and the pay window closed yesterday so we get the payout Friday. If I don't get paid Friday, I'm in a very very very bad situation. I'm a little peeved at my boss that I even need to be worried about getting paid Friday. This happened 2 weeks ago today! Why are you bringing it up so late and risking my pay?! Please help me not stress eat... I've been tossing and turning all night, barely got restful sleep. And during those times I tossed and turned, I was absolutely freezing, despite usually being too hot under all those layers.
01/29 - Found my TOM bloat plus some. At a work conference and food is provided. I started getting dizzy and lightheaded so I went to get some food and the only thing available was a donut so I ate that. Then catered Chick-Fil-A (delicious, but not exactly nutritious). Not sure what today's catered lunch will be. Hopefully they have a fruit tray for breakfast again (the fruit was gone by the time I got dizzy) and I'm going to get some early so I can snack once I break my fast (lunch is an hour later than I normally eat it and I break my fast between 1030-11, 11 being the plant's normal lunch break). At least fruit will hold me over an hour. Just have 2 yoga (YWA HOME) practices to do today and I'm all caught up! I really do love it. Calendar should be out today for February. Pretty excited!
01/30 - Back on the downward trend. Got my logistics (flights, hotel, etc) coordinated yesterday for my interview Monday. Apparently the hiring manager is excited about this which makes me nervous and excited (more so than I already was). Lunch ready for today and tomorrow. Have a steak for dinner and a Fire Brigade dinner/awards tomorrow to get me through to Saturday food-wise. Pushing water. I tried to yesterday but it was rough trying to drive home with a full bladder every 2-3 seconds it felt like! Today I'm at my home office so it'll be easier (: Caught up with HOME yoga, today is the last day, tomorrow is close-out. I already have February's calendar printed and I'm going to try to stick with that (pending any life updates). Now time to read and get caught up on everybody over the last 2 days! I was able to post but not read
01/31 - Aaaaand back down. Now lets maintain this for the weekend at the very least. I'd like a drop, but with the travel Sunday and Monday, maintaining would be best for me that way I know I'm doing something right. Maybe I'm odd but I hate using the bathroom on planes so I typically don't hydrate enough when I'm flying (though I always have a water bottle with me to sip on, I know its not enough). Today is a good day. I scheduled payments to pay off one credit card (a whole $25), paid a little more than minimum on the the other credit card (I had paid off with consolidation but car maintenance got me), and made my first payment on my new loan (the consolidation loan. Has no early payoff penalty, lower interest rate, and I don't have to calculate how much I can pay each card each month. Maybe not the best route, but I froze all my credit cards so I can't increase those anymore and I can't increase my loan so it definitely helps me mentally tackle things). I'm feeling extremely positive and today's weigh in just made me feel that much better.
02/01 - Had Fire Brigade Appreciation dinner last night and they catered in fajitas so I'm sure this is a sodium and slightly later than normal dinner time bump. Not at all worried about it. We catered for 20 and there were six of us so we each got to take home some food which I'm about to dig into as I'm well past my fasting time (I got busy/distracted and I'm just now starting to feel a bit hungry). Going to try to weigh in tomorrow morning (will be an early morning, I have to leave my house before the time I normally wake up for work!) but I'll have to remember my weight so I can post once I'm at the airport. I'm so excited to see my BF and the crew, even if only for a few hours, and nervous for this interview all at the same time. Its an odd combination of emotions. Purged a lot of the donation stuff from my house. Only 2 more bags I need to drop off that I didn't have room to take in my car today. Otherwise, its organizing and packing more of the non-essentials just in case Monday goes better than I expect (municipal company so it usually takes a bit longer to go through the hiring process -- don't expect to hear yes or no on the job right away but I'm going to be prepared in case).
02/02 - This is likely a combination of a super late dinner and an early weigh in. If I can stay under 150 during this trip, I'll be content. Have a 3 hour layover in Dallas right now but tomorrow I'll have an hour layover haha it's going to be fun. If the company hadn't booked me in basic economy I could go on standby for an earlier flight but I cannot ): it'd give me way more time to spend with the BF if I could've done that. Oh well, wasn't meant to be I guess.
02/03 - Out of Town
02/04 - Definitely expected to be up, especially after the Superbowl. I was able to hang out with BF and the crew -- had AMAZING food, but made sure small quantities. I also treated myself to Whataburger in the airport during my layover (can't get it up here, only had it twice before in my life) but it was early enough it didn't seem to stay heavy on me. Ate out after my interview at this pizzeria in San Antonio since I had no other food option but to eat out. It was worth it!. I may have some water retention but it seems it wasn't enough to push me over. Travel goal to stay under 150: accomplished! Came back to Kansas and a winter weather advisory. I swear this state hates me lol All bundled up and sleepy-tired today. Have fire brigade training. Hopefully its indoors!
02/05 - Bounced around between 149.2 and 148.8, settling on the latter. Stepped on a second time, hovered at 149.0 but settled on 148.8. A third time also settled on 148.8. Apparently my scale did not want to wake up this morning either. Snowing when I drove in, but the winter weather advisory was cancelled last night and only supposed to lightly snow for a couple hours this morning. Hopefully it warms up and the drive home doesn't get icy. Didn't have lunch so I brought some of the homemade frozen burritos I bough from a coworker for a fundraiser his kid was having. Better than spending money and eating vending machine food like I did yesterday. Pulled some stuff from the freezer to make chili tonight which should last me the rest of the week at the very least. Did some yoga last night. Finished YWA HOME last night (just had one more to do I kept procrastinating last week). Realized February's calendar isn't really a journey like January so I'm just going to try a video of hers that suits my needs that day and do that instead. Hopefully I can still stay on track doing yoga daily without having a calendar to follow.

R103
Goal for this round is to continue to work on my eating habits, and be mindful of everything that goes into my mouth.
I've been on this journey a very long time and have lost a lot of weight, and I've kept the majority of it off without gaining it back. I'm looking forward to the day when I finally reach One-derland and I'm no longer obese/overweight,

Day/Weight/Comment:
1/28: 275.6 (-2.6 lbs) for a little while I'm limited what I can do physically. As soon as I'm able I'll get back to my workout routine. This is do to health reasons. I'm happy to still be losing.
1/29: NW: left home very early, and just now got back a few minutes.
1/30: 275.2 (-4 oz) Only 4 oz loss. Still a lose is better than gain. Tomorrow is errand and grocery shopping day, and I'm usually gone most of the day. Which means I eat away from home. Here's hoping I make the right decisions, and not be tempted to overdo it.

Goal weight: 140

February goal: 189
10 day goal: Lose 2-3 lbs and keep sodium and sugar intake under control
I am so ready to go again! I see my doctor on Tuesday to discuss my weight loss, so I will be able to check how accurate my scale has been and find out if I have been approaching my macros the right way. Looking forward to reading about everyone else’s weight loss/management experience, too!
Day/Weight/Comment
01/28: 198.6 Kept under sugar and sodium intake yesterday. I am eager to see what my doctor says today about my efforts!
01/29: 202.0 Sadly it turns out my scale was off by 4 lbs. Still have more work to do! On the bright side, my doctor was thrilled by the STILL SIGNIFICANT weight loss and the changes in my diet, so she was very encouraging about continuing my efforts. I have a new scale now to mark my progress!
01/30: 201.5 See? No worries! I ate well yesterday, I know now that I am losing weight consistently.
01/31: 201.4 I was hoping for a bigger drop, considering how well I kept under my sugar, sodium, and carbs, but at least I have a scale that is consistent now. I stepped on it twice and it showed me the same number.
02/01: 200.4 Yay! I will see the 190s again soon!!
02/02: 200.7 I went over on carbs again. Blame PMS and stress making the cravings unsatisfiable. I’m actually surprised the gain wasn’t more.
02/03: 201.5 Had a good lunch with a friend yesterday, but overdid it in terms of sodium intake. I’m forgiving myself and moving on!
02/04: 200.6 Getting there, getting there...
02/05: 199.6 YES!!!!
02/06: 200.4 We had a snow day at last here, so I overindulged on comfort foods. No matter! The next ten day challenge will see me staying firmly staying under the 200s. Thanks for this round!9
