JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 104

wellnfree

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.
Day/Weight/Comment
02/07 – 166 – Out for dinner Thurs., for sure way over cals.
02/08 – 165.8
02/09 - 166
02/10 – 165.8 – Rather late to the game and thought about skipping the Round but then thought, “And would I end up making those cheat days? Oh, very possibly – just by accident, of course, you know.” So back at it. Off to the gym today and sunshine in absolutely blue sky after days of gray fog and snow.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/07 393.0 (0.0)
02/08 392.2 (-0.8)
02/09 390.6 (-1.6) – I am glad to have a fresh start. I only gained 1-pound last round. Can’t do that this round. I am really shocked by loss this morning. I will wait to see if it sticks tomorrow. We went to a Brazilian steak house last night. I guess it is true. Protein, protein is OK. The meat was all lean and flame broiled. And I did not have much before going before. I am going to do a DVD shortly. I see this challenge has 2 weekends sort of and I already pre-planned for next weekend. Have a good week everyone!!

02/10 389.0 (-1.6) It feels good to be back on track. Under calories yesterday and I tracked everything. I did not do DVD. Will shoot for getting in my step goal today.

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.

*One of my major goals is to get my BMI under 40 (260 weight) so I can have surgery on my knees *

TerriRichardson112

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!
Back Story:

2018:
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!

2020
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.

• 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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Day/Weight/Comment:

02/07: 128.0 Good start. Met my protein goal yesterday. Probably won't weigh in again for a few days, just wanted an accurate starting weight. Today was a rest day but I ended up playing an hour of pickleball. Will do my leg gym workout tomorrow.

02/08: Went over on calories today, went to a party and made good choices but pretty impossible to track.

02/09: Played some pickleball outside, spent the rest of the day working and stayed well under my calorie goal but did not meet my protein macro.

02/10: Tentatively stepped on the scale - still at 128.0, phew. Hoping to stay on track today, I'm getting a cold, have a boat load of work to get through and didn't sleep well. Sort of a recipe for a disaster. Plus, I'm skipping my workout today and have a class tonight, feeling scattered and off kilter. Thinking a nap might help.

Day | Weight | Change | Comment

02/07 | 134.2kg | No change | Ugh, go away, water weight! 30 mins of activity yesterday, feeling it a bit today from the strength training. Bodyweight exercises are no joke when you're this heavy!

02/08 | 134.1kg | -0.1kg | Maybe it's not water weight after all...feeling sluggish and just yuck. Still plugging away though, getting my steps and minutes in, hoping to see some improvements soon. I know it's not all about the number on the scale and I am feeling a little less jiggly so I guess I'll take that as a NSV!

02/09 | 133.6kg | -0.5kg | Whoosh! Finally! I knew it was water weight! Feeling much less bloated & sluggish this morning. I will admit this was a later weigh-in than normal but not super late.

02/10 | 133.8kg | +0.2kg | Back to my normal weigh-in time so I'm happy with this, for now.

02/11 | 134.1kg |+0.3kg | Spent the day doing a road trip to a nearby city to get the plans drawn up for our new kitchen. Unfortunately this meant about 7 hours on the road and sub-standard choices for food & drinks. Plus I always retain water when I travel, I'm not sure why that is but my feet in particular are always puffy AF the next day! Back into normal routine today and I hope to see the scale drop back down.

Hello friends!

OSW 201
Round 102 EW 189.8
Round 103 EW 188.8

Goal this round <187.0
1 - Track my calories everyday and stay below maintenance
2 - Hit my steps every day

02/06 188.2 I'm happy starting off with this number, finally getting close to my start weight way back from 2 rounds ago. Maybe my body is getting used to the meds now. I just need to keep up my plan over the weekend and not blow it.

02/07 187.4 Very excited to see this drop. Maybe I will make my goal this round! Just skimmed by under my calorie goal yesterday so that was good. Veggies and lean turkey for lunch and Mexican dinner with lady friends tonight. I'm thinking grilled chicken taco salad?

02/08 189.6 Ok I did fine on the food, but the Texas margarita pushed me over the edge of my calories. Rats. And here to pay the salt fine is an extra 2.5 lbs from yesterday. Hope it subsides quickly.

02/09 189.x I forgot to record it

02/10 189.2 wow this is ridiculous. TOM finally came 26 days late.. I can only assume this is water weight hanging around. Also came down with a bad migraine today which causes me to crave carbs and sugar.. Didn't eat healthy but I still came in under my calories so there's that. Gym tomorrow!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/06 …..192.1….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
02/07 …..192.1 ….. I am starting my new plan today. I will closely monitor my glucose readings to see how it affects me. I watching also to see what happens with my tummy. So far this morning, it feels like taking my brain out and turning it completely backwards. Logging will be extra important so I can figure all this out. This experiment will likely be temporary. In the end, I don’t think it is what is normally best for me overall. Just what I need right now in regards to several medical issues. Good luck everyone this round!

02/08 …..192.0 ….. My gluclose numbers have been running too high (which is what my medication normally treats as high glucose has been my main problem over the years). Probably because of the carb increase. But it doesn’t cause the sickness and panic eating that the lows do. I will continue with my experiment and see what happens. I am just not used to considering the calories as much so it’s a brain swicheroo thing but I’ll get it. I know lower carb is better for my glucose so I am going to experiment on eating fewer calories but higher carb. The best way to explain is maybe less actual Keto and more low or thoughtful carb intake (low glycemic vs high glycemic etc). I don’t yet know what the numbers will be. Under 50 carbs? Under 100 Carbs? I’m going to try to tweak this thing for sure. If I see any persistent dangerous levels, I will make immediate necessary changes. Let’s see how this continues to go.

02/09 …..193.0 ….. Pizza. But too much. This experiment is finding me able to eat whatever I want pretty much, or so it seems at first. Then, I find it’s the quantities I must watch closer than I usually have to. So it's not quite as easy as I thought. I don’t know if I’m equipped for this mindset. It just makes me feel like I’ve thrown diet right out the window, until it doesn't make me feel that way at all! Still a restriction, but of a different kind. I suppose that whole and healthy is always the way to go, regardless of which plan you choose. Then, I forgot to test my blood sugar this morning so I lost the opportunity to see how badly pizza affects it. One thing for certain, no sugar drops in sight. I’ve got to worry now about it going too far north instead of south. I travel tomorrow out of town with brother for his test results. Likely a restaurant. I will not turn it into a binge day!

02/10 …..193.1 ….. I call this a normal fluctuation this morning. Traveled today and became a human vacuum cleaner. I really don’t even know at this point what my calories should be with this experiment I am on. The same as before? A bit more? I just don’t know. I am consistently hitting in the 1500’s which normally puts me over. I think this is for the birds. I’m rethinking but still nervous about my glucose. I guess I’ll just have to sleep on it. All in all, I honestly don't know is its such a bad idea, I just don't think I'm ready for such a major transition. I dunno. Gotta lot to think about still yet.

EW Round 103: 107.2, BF% 25.3

Day/Weight/Comment

02/07 107.8, BF 25.4% Weekend bump as usual! Seem to keep losing and gaining the same 0.6 pounds! Dinner out last night for work so not quite sure what calorie count was but did best to approximate. Lots of protein!

02/08 107.8, BF 25.4% No gain is a win on the weekend!!! Weight training this morning and then spin class. Butt is sore after progressive deadlifts today - 5 sets of 5 reps increasing weight by 5 pounds each set! Dinner was swordfish, black beans and rice, salad with mango - plus some tortilla chips and guacamole (still under budget!) Made sous vide egg bites today (gruyere, duck bacon, and scallions) so excited to try them tomorrow for breakfast!

02/09 108.8, BF 25.7% Well weekend caught up with me so can’t escape the usual Monday bump it seems! Heavy weights yesterday (deadlifts up to 125 now) so definitely feeling DOMS -> water retention. Not worried as this is my typical pattern and expect it will drop off during the week. Kettlebell circuit this evening and then some core work. Calories good for the day.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 104 (round 36 for me ) I'm in for another round – keep plugging on! Thank you GrandmaJackie.

Female age 61 5' 4”

Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !

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!

Day/Weight/Comment

02/07 135.2 – Only 3.14 miles walked, one reason for the increase & I did over indulge yesterday. Today Is a new day!
02/08 135.8 – sigh !! 9.66 miles walked yesterday. Calories exceeded by 306 – I hit the chocolate, must leave it alone!!
02/09 DNW – away from home helping our DD & SIL move house, DD had been readmitted to hospital following contracting an infection (sepsis) after giving birth to our delightful new grandson 2 weeks ago. Luckily, she reported her raised temperature to her midwife after 24 hours and so taken back into hospital, administered IV antibiotics until the sample of her blood was used to culture the bacteria to enable the lab to produce a personally tailored cocktail of antibiotics for her. She was again discharged yesterday and the spring in her step is returning. Thank goodness it was caught early. So she was encouraged to keep her feet up whilst the rest of us did the work!! We stayed in a local Travelodge, so no weigh in this am.
02/10 135.8 – only 1.94 miles walked yesterday . Need to get back at it today.
02/11 135.4 – 9.58 miles walked yesterday, a good day ; 887 calories under & all macros in green. It makes so much difference when I get my walking in !

02/07 134.4 I was determined not to go up between the end of one round and the start of the next!! So yay! Lunch out so I'm planning to eat sensibly...

02/08 134.4 I better buckle down. I didn't log yesterday because I went out for lunch and have no idea what the calories were. I simply have to end the round lower than I started. With my knee hurting and long work hours I haven't done the elliptical. I should make time for that.

02/09 134. Elliptical yesterday and knee didn't hurt (more)! Also, stayed firm and had no alcohol inspire of people strongly suggesting I would like a drink! Who needs a headache?

02/10 133.6 I'm happy I lost during the weekend, with all the social activity! I was super careful on the cheese and chips and dip over the weekend. Had like 3 chips! I wasn't very hungry last evening so didn't have a full meal. That helps too and I need to do that more often, and just save the little bits of food for the next day. There's so much food around but it doesn't mean it has to go into my stomach all at the same time.

I'd forgotten my motto of a few months ago " there's always tomorrow" - I too don't need to neccessarily have to eat ALL the food/goodies today, I can save some for tomorrow. Thanks for reminding me of this, I'm going to use it again.

@shunggie - Walking is my salvation, it keeps me sane, during the week it's my time, I do my planning, contemplating, meditating & it enables me to eat a little more. At the weekends my DH joins me and we usually get out into the countryside to do a long walk together. I'm glad you enjoyed your time walking.

Goals
1 - Track my calories daily
2 - Gym x2 week
3 - Water 1.5l

This round I'd like to start getting back on track with exercise. I'm still getting these weird migraines which don't seem to be alleviating so I'll have to get used to some form of exercise with them.

02/06 - 149.2 round start weight
02/07 - 150.8 (+1.4) 1200 cal, 4.424 steps, I was expecting this after a late dinner even though I was just at my calorie limit. . Unfortunately, I didn't get my steps in as I was in my car most of the day. I've changed my goal for this round to get under 150.x which seems more realistic. For the weekend this time I've also planned a lot of activities to get me out of the house and away from the fridge
02/08 150.8
02/09 150.8
02/10 150.8

02/11 150.8 Still no change weight wise which is not so bad considering my weekend, my daughter has the flu so the last few days have been a bit hectic. I did squeeze in an hour at the gym on Sunday and I tried a YouTube kettle bell workout yesterday (so much harder than it looks!!).

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
R103 ——————— no average, bulk week

02/07- 148.2
02/08- 148.2
02/09- 152.2
02/10- 149.6
02/11- 148.2 I spoke at a weight loss group last night as a success story. It was exactly what I needed to remind me how far I’ve come. I’m going to keep focusing on my fitness goals, on what my body is capable of. These last 20-30lbs has really proven to be the most mentally challenging for me.
