    SW 9/14/20-255 lbs (Heaviest wt second time, Started new job, less stress, not having a micromanager anymore!)
    UGW-122 lbs ( lowest wt 2009, kept off about 5 years, got lazy and then had a bad fx and had to learn to walk again)
    Surgery 5/3/21-240.5 lbs (gallbladder)
    MFP SW 5/14/21-232.2 lbs
    CGW-190 lbs

    CW start
    8/1/21-212.0 lbs
    8/8/21-209.2 lbs
    8/15/21-207.8 lbs
    8/22/21-204.4 lbs
    8/29/21-203.0 lbs. Doing well. Keeping on track. I'm not sure if I'll meet my goal of under 200 lbs by 9/1/21 AM weigh in but I can't complain about 9 lb loss! I'm doing a procedure prep today for Monday, of Clear liquids + so that may help me reach it! The good part of the prep! Routine test for a bad family history of 3 generations and praying for a clean bill of health! Started using my Elliptical last Sunday, instead of walking, as it was raining all day. Hadn't used it since pre 10/15. It burns a lot more calories and gets my heart rate up exponentially.

    9/1/21- 200 lbs. Well missed my goal by 0.1 lbs! But who can be upset with 12 lbs in a month loss? Without being hungry or exhausted. I also have a recent NSV. I had a Tibial Plateau Fracture in 10/15 and since have had to take 1 stair at a time and meet it with the other leg going up. (Coming down I can alternate most times.) I can now alternate steps going up. Losing 55 lbs has accomplished this! Oh well, ONWARD AND UPWARD. MAYBE IT SHOULD BE ONWARD AND DOWNWARD!
    ML-12 lbs
    MLGW-199.9 lbs

    9/1/21-200.0 lbs
    9/5/21-200.4 lbs- So my 9/1 weight showed the clear liquid prep I had to do obviously. So not surprised by the slight uptick in weight today. I did stay true to my calorie, carb restrictions and exercise routine though. Keeping my 195 lb goal for October1 and 190 lb for November1.
    I did 97 minutes/8 miles on my Elliptical this AM. I
    Longest time/mileage so far. I got my heart rate up to 140-150.
    9/12/21-198 lbs- I've been doing 99 minutes/8 miles, on my Elliptical on my 3 days off. Stayed true to my Net Carbs and calories this past week.

    9/19/21-194 lbs!!!! OMG! I can't believe this. I expected my weight loss to slow down by now. I may need to amend my End Goal! Still staying true to my Net Carbs, Calories and doing my Elliptical 99 minutes/8+ miles, 3 days/week on my days off.
    9/26/21-192.8 lbs Doing well, staying on track. Still doing Elliptical on my off work days.
    10/1/21-191.4 lbs
    ML-8.6 lbs- Under my month goal!!
    MLGW-195 lbs

    10/1/21-191.4 lbs
    10/3/21-189.8 lbs Met my goal but don't intend to back off. Maybe I'll get below 180!? Bumped up my Elliptical from 98 minutes today to a full 2 hours. Started as a 6 minute cool down and then did the extra 15 more. Felt great afterwards!

    I was so proud of myself and felt wonderful! I got down to around 152/3lbs which is still more than I am accustomed to, but it was a good start.
    But....I have really lost my way on this journey over the last few months and need some inspiration or a kick in the pants to get it together!!
    {Full disclosure, I struggle with chronic depression and it has been bad lately. Have been off work for about 4 yrs now.}
    Any words of wisdom are welcomed!!

    Be kind to yourself RNC, depression saps so much out of you. Can you pick one thing to work on for the next month?
