**************************************
12/28 145.2 (trend 142.9) Spent most of the night in the bathroom so I was surprised this morning to see my weight still heading upwards. Hopefully I'll be able to drop a chunk of this quickly as otherwise that's a 6.6lb gain in 11 days!! It took me 6 weeks to lose it so I can't believe I could gain it back so fast!
Having a roast chicken with all the trimmings today as our Christmas day lunch was steak and veggies so I don't feel like I've satisfied my festive cravings yet. Today will be my last day of indulgence, best behaviour from tomorrow, although NYE will have some drinks and snacks.
12/29 145.2 (143.2)
12/30 146.4 (143.6) Arrgghh make it stop! How did I let this happen? SOS!
Up nearly 8lbs in less than 2 weeks, trying to resist the urge to over restrict... it'll be fine, it'll be fine, just got to get back on the wagon...
12/31 144.2 (trend 143.7)
HAPPY NEW YEAR JGM10Ders!
OK, phew, hopefully I'm starting to see the true impact of my Christmas indulgence after the water weight and bloat subsides! However, tonight is NYE! My daughter is having a few friends over to stay tonight so we're getting out of the way and going to check out the parties at a couple of pubs. I don't like starting the new year with a sore head but it's probably going to happen that way! Adios 2021!
1/1 146.6 (trend 144.2) Had lots of fizz and a Chinese takeaway so feeling bloated and tired!
1/2 146.8 (trend 144.5) Well we decided on one last day of fun yesterday as there was sooo many goodies still left over. The house is now clear of temptation and I'm ready to go!
1/3 144.6 (trend 144.5) Much better Day yesterday, food wise. Fasted for much of the day and drank green tea. No tmi for 2 days though. Wasn't very active at all as I spent the day on the laptop researching kitchen appliances. Hopefully have a much more active day today.
1/4 142.8 (trend 144.3) So glad to see this drop, this puts me at my RGW which I really wasn't expecting to happen! Drank green tea and lemon all day, ate light, simple food. Stayed up until 3am so really need to work on a healthy sleep routine. Also I got really hungry at 2am, should have gone to bed but instead had a boiled egg, banana and cereal bar. Think my appetite has grown from all the extra Christmas food so I need to shrink my stomach so I don't get so hungry.

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
12/28 207.7 Walked 2.4 miles, over 15k steps shopping! Started journalling for the day with breakfast but then nose dived at lunch with my pregnant daughter and her cravings for queso w/ chips & fried pickles … splitting a hamburger. Dinner was good but snacks were poorly chosen when I returned home. 2 glasses wine.
12/29 207.5 Walked 2.9 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Pretty good day but still not journalling my food which means that I eat more snacks and junk than I would if I was tracking.
12/30 207.8 No exercise, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Helped my daughter create a BabyList.com baby registry and unpack more boxes in her house since she is off work this week.
12/31 209.0 Walked 2 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, AF. Too many salty snacks yesterday. BUT I did clean out the fridge, start menu plans again for the new year and signed up for Strength Training 4x per week instead of just 2x. Why does the flip of the year always spur me on. Well I guess because I didn’t achieve and maintain my goal for 2021. My goal was to get under 200. I was this close at 201.1 in August but then let things get out of hand and of course the scale jumps right back up when you do something stupid … like forget this is a lifestyle and not a diet. So starting a fresh page in my journal and creating the lifestyle that will help me get down to my goal set my both of my doctors.
1/01 209.0 Walked 3.8 + 1 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Not sure what happen or why but my heart started racing on my evening walk as we neared home. Heartbeat jumped up to 196. Marked the activity on my Apple Watch and iPhone to share with my doctor. Otherwise, quiet evening and early to bed … ready to start the new year!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎉 Well 2021 was a wash in that I lost 11 lbs but gained 8 back for a total loss of 3 lbs. Lost all my progress starting in October on a 16 day roadtrip and then just kept sliding. BUT I did meet Ultimate Lifetime Goal: Weigh Less Each Year Than the Last . Now to make the goal I’ve set for the past 2 years … <200 (Dr set target to reach & stay under 200).
1/02 208.0 Walked 3.1 miles, 1674 cal, 82 net carbs, AF. Planned my meals and did well though I went over my original target because of Cheetos with lunch and the appetizers set out for our family dinner. I did avoid the wine so didn’t have to worry about those calories.
My son and his wife are at the hospital … my granddaughter is on her way!!!
1/03 206.8 Walked 1.3 miles ~ 5pm even though it was windy & chilly for Houston. 1554 cal, 30 net carbs, 1 glass wine. Yeah I’m tracking my food again … which makes a huge difference on the snacking. Once when I started to go into the pantry I decided to make black coffee instead
Kept busy taking down some of the Christmas decor & walking up & down stairs many times. Long slow delivery. Still waiting on my baby granddaughter … as of 4am this morning.
1/04 207.5 Walked 3 + .9 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, 2214 cal, 49 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. My little granddaughter is adorable! 7 lbs 9 oz, 19 inch. Her mom & dad are doing well. They get out of the hospital today and we get to go meet her! I need to get on the ball if I'm going to be a slimmer, active, flexible, stronger, mobile grandma!

12/30: 148.0, not sure what tomorrow will bring as we went out to dinner tonight. I tried to plan ahead, work my meal into my budget and drink extra water. Will see if that works. 🤞😊
12/31: 146.7, will probably hold here as this was my weight last week before Christmas dinner, drinks, cookies... Happy New Year everyone! 🎊🎉🍾

12/28- 193.6 Finished the day with 91 net carbs- it was pizza day. Happy with the loss this morning considering. Determined to hit the 10,000 step goal today. Let’s rock!
12/29- 193.8 I’ll admit, I’m slightly disappointed this morning. 40 net carbs yesterday, but I also had a terrible case of the munchies, so a little nibble here and there too. Thanks PMS! I’ll do better today for sure. Got my Pelo ride in yesterday, but fell short on steps. I’ll do better with the steps today too!
12/30-194.4 Man, pms this time around is intense! Can’t wait for the insatiable hunger to be gone! 50 net carbs yesterday-plus about half a brownie’s worth, whatever that was. And got all 10,000 steps in for a change! I’m ready to make today better than the past few days have been. Let’s do this!
12/31- 193.4 46 net carbs
1/1- 197.2 Wine was involved. Otherwise, I don’t think I overate by too much, nothing like Christmas! Back to business today, and it feels good already.
1/2- 197.0 I was hoping for a bigger drop, but at least it’s a drop. Finished the day just 350 steps short of goal. I was going to get up and get the rest in but fell asleep instead. 62 net carbs all day, and finally got a strength training session in for once!
1/3- 198.0 Yesterday was my husband’s birthday so there was cake, and a late night snack attack. Today I’m going to do better!
1/4- 198.6 Well, it could’ve been worse. 108 net carbs due to my husband’s dinner out (Ethiopian, some of our favorite!) and cake for dessert. I’m relieved all of the holiday and birthday eating is through now. Today is a brand new day, and the official start to my new year in getting to a healthy weight. This year is THE YEAR I finally see my goal!

Day/Weight/Comment
12/28 - 207.2 - Took last round off to deal with mental health and realized that I need this for accountability. Didn't work out this morning so weight skewed up a bit. But man I've been not good lately. Drinking snuck back in and I'm not outworking the drinks. Figured this round may be disappointing because of NYE but I will try my hardest.
12/29 - 203.5 - Obviously a difference between working out and not. Did a 20 minute ride last night and then 2 20 minute rides back to back this morning. I've lost close to nothing for about a month now after working so hard. Cannot give up on the eating habits, that's all I'm missing.
12/30 - 203.0 - Still need to come down a bit to get back on track but I'm not too mad. This weekend is going to need to be a lot of working out because I have some great meals planned that I want to enjoy without any bad feelings!
12/31 - 197.5
1/1 - 197.3
1/2 - 199.7
1/3 - 201.9 - Those weekend numbers are so nice to see I can't wait until they're the norm for a shorter workout and an earlier weigh in. Really so close to being consistently under 200 and I really want to get there, I'm just so tired recently!
1/4 - 202.6 - This is probably some leftover weekend eating/drinking piling on. Either way, I'm still low 200s and had you told me this last year at this time, I'd be excited. So I'm going to be happy for myself! I've now burned 770+ calories 70 days in a row, which I'm proud of and hope I don't break that!

12/28 203.2 (-.2) Swam a mile in the pool yesterday and made meals for the next few days. My low weight was 202 on December 18th. I was hoping to be closer to that weight today, but I’m getting there. Drank all my water.
12/29 202.0 (-1.4) There it is. My previous low weight. Hoping for a new low by the end of 2021. No organized exercise today, but I will stay on plan with both food and water.
12/30 201.8 (-1.6) Hoping to sneak in a swim between my appointments today. I can’t believe 2021 is almost over.
12/31 202.4 (-1.0) I got in a good swim yesterday. Did not get all my water and I’m guessing that had an impact. Sending love and prayers to all those impacted by the fires near Denver. It looks like more than 500 homes burned in Superior and Louisville.
1/1 203.4(0) It finally has really begun to snow here in Denver, which we’ve really needed. I stayed home last night and after a Zoom call with my sisters, treated myself to a steak dinner. I always create a plan for a new year beginning with my accomplishments from the year prior. Losing weight has been on my list for years and it was so exciting to actually be able to list amazing progress. I’m over 60 pounds down for the year and have 43.4 pounds to go. What an amazing accomplishment. I love being surrounded by people who are walking this path along side me. Just look at what we’ve all accomplished. While we may not be as far along as we hoped, we’ve moved forward in wonderful ways. Happy New Year my friends. Wishing you happiness, good health and a year of growth and fun!
1/2 202.2 (-1.2) Still bouncing around a bit, but did get my water in yesterday. I’m heading to Orange Theory this morning for my first workout for the year. After a birthday dinner tonight, I’m expecting a bit of an increase tomorrow, but should be moving downward into the 100’s in the next week.
1/3 201.0 (-2.4) What a nice surprise. I did have pizza yesterday, but did workout so my final calories were only a few hundred over plan. I hadn’t been to Orange Theory since early November and was really happy with how much stronger I am and how my cardio fitness has improved. I have been swimming and hiking regularly.
1/4 201.6 (-1.8) I had a wonderful swim yesterday and stayed under my calorie goals, so this is a bit confusing. But, that’s how it goes and as long as I trust the process, keep logging and weighing my foods, it’s all good.11 -

Ok, two days running with no snacks, no added sugars, and calories below goal. Yay me! I’m determined not to bounce back to the 80s, and would like to be down a few pounds by the time our new round of dog training classes start Jan. 10. We video one another, and I hate being the fat lady with the beautiful dog! Rory is 6 months old today. 🙂

Dark, wet, cold day, but I’m taking the pup out for a run. Then some house cleaning. Then, who knows? Have a lovely!
12/31 - 179.8, Ave 179.6
Salt. No problem, and I got out of the 80s by the end of the year as I’d hope. Wishing you all a safe and happy New Year’s Eve! 🥂
01/01 - 178.2, Ave 179.1
Finally feel I’m on the right track, and I’m feeling optimistic about staying this way. So HAPPY NEW YEAR, everyone!

Brrrr! Big temp drop from yesterday, which makes me want soup. Maybe I’ll make a nice pot of minestrone. I baked another mince pie yesterday for New Year, but gave half away to friends & neighbors, had a reasonable piece last night, and enough left for one more piece each for DH & me. If I plan my day, it fits into my calories (if not my added sugar!). Off to run the pup — ground is frozen so no mud! Yay!
01/03 - 178.4, ave 178.7
Let’s hear it for soup and planning!
01/04 - 178.4, ave 178.5
I baked chocolate chip cookies yesterday (DH requested) and slowly ate a quarter of one. Satisfied my desire without breaking the calorie or added sugar bank. I’ve been consistently staying below or at my calorie goal—finally—and my urge to snack is way less than it has been the past few months. Progress!

Have a fancy dinner out planned for NYE so aiming for 196 for this round. Should be doable as long as the other 9 days are sound.
Hit the gym hard last night and sore this morning. Would have thought it would be up, but I'll take it!
12/29: 196.6 lbs (-0.2)
More sore this morning. Couldn't fall asleep last night until after 2am so I'm dragging today.
12/30: 196.8 lbs (+0.2)
Not sweating a slight gain. Pretty sore from yesterday's workout.
12/31: 197 lbs (+0.2)
Didn't get enough exercise yesterday or sleep last night. Going to hit the gym this morning.
01/01: 195.8 lbs (-1.2)
Happy New Year! What a great group! You all inspire me with your persistence and good choices!
I had a mini goal to make in to 195 by New Years, so I'll take this as a win! Went out to dinner last night and behaved - grilled salmon with lemon crema and asparagus. Lighter and SO good! I'm in Denver too and the roads are terrible. I'm hoping the plows get out before I hit up the gym. That's not something I would have said ANY New Years day before. Who the heck have I become?!
01/02: 196.6 lbs (+0.8)
Had a feeling that it would be up today. Didn't make it to the gym yesterday so going today.
01/03: 195.4 lbs (-1.2)
Good workout yesterday. Surprisingly the gym was pretty empty. No Resolutioners, just the regulars. Not expecting that to continue!
01/04: 194.2 lbs (-1.2)
Good workout yesterday. Slept about 2 hours last night though. Will see if the stress effects the scales.

Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.
Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.
Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!
Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.
FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/28 163.3 {Steps 11,988} ~ This couple months has been interesting to say the least, lol. With the holidays and potty training Parker the Pug plus getting dumped with a major snow storm, lol. My go to has been meditation, taking one day at a time. Remembering I have sooooo much to be thankful for.
12/29 162.9 {Steps 13,364} ~ Today started out rough but since we didn’t get any more snow, hitting the gym helped tremendously! My plan tonight is to get a yoga session in tonight, 😀
12/30 162.2 {Steps 11,339} ~ No yoga last night unfortunately, we received more snow over night, 😭😭. My goal today will try to get a couple walks in. On well I didn’t get a couple walks in plus late night snacks attack again, glazed lemon bread, lol. Hence the weight gain..
12/31 163.5 {Steps 9,321} On the bright side I’m 5 pounds less today then I was a year ago!!!! I had lunch with my daughter and made plans for our birthday celebration. Mine is in March and hers in February, we usually pick a day in February to celebrate together.
01/01 163 {Seps 11,266} I hoped the new year would start off better, unfortunately it didn’t but I will not use food as my escape…..

Hi, I’m Karen and am in my 50’s.

GW-150.
12/29-166-Getting back on track...
12/31-167-Glad to be staying in the 160’s. Made creamy polenta and chicken stew. My New Years resolution will be to make exercise a priority; I let too many things get in the way.
1/1-168 and I don’t care. I’ve got a new year ahead.
1/2-168-Made Chicken Florentine and had seconds. Had drinks and relaxed. Will put all of the Christmas decor away today and start off fresh tomorrow.
1/3-170-That’s pretty funny; I got a 4 mile walk in yesterday, food must have been salty.
1/4-167-Made Chicken Tortilla Soup without tortillas or chips, light on the beans and corn. No walk, it was uncomfortably windy and cold. Rode the horse in the indoor arena where I keep him.12 -

1/2 121.2 ? Happy New Year everyone! My weight dipped nicely right before Christmas and popped back up because of where I’m at in my cycle. Hoping to lose some of that water weight this week. I have been maintaining my running at least 3x a week and using the spin bike 2x a week and strength training 2-3x a week. I’m feeling good and have been eating pretty healthy while I wasn’t posting. Today I plan on meal planning and relaxing. My husband and I went for a 3 mile walk this morning. Breakfast was an eggwhite omelet with peppers and onions plus 2 slices of whole wheat bread that I made for the first time yesterday. I realized that making bread is so much fun! I think I’m going to start making it every other weekend or something like that.
1/3 120.8 Went for a 5 mile run this morning which felt good. I was slow moving getting out of the house this morning, probably due to the fact the real feel was 15 degrees F. Luckily I layered up and once I got moving it wasn’t too bad. Sleep was weird last night, my husband wasn’t home because he was ironically at a sleep study at the hospital that he’s been waiting for months to do. Food is planned out for the day and is looking good so far. It’s the first pick up of our winter share CSA, so that’ll be exciting to see what we get. I’m thinking dinner tonight will be a turkey sausage, cannellini beans and vegetable soup. I’m not sure if my husband will be a fan but he can deal or find something else to eat because he wouldn’t give me any suggestions when I asked him yesterday. Was feeling uninspired yesterday when trying to meal plan but the soup sounded good to me, so I’m going to make it!
1/4 120.8 Completed an hour on the spin bike this morning. The soup came out good last night and will probably be my dinner tonight too. For breakfast today I made a teff porridge and added walnuts, raisins and little bit of honey and leftover homemade eggnog for a bit of richness. It was so filling I couldn’t finish my bowl of it. I also made a double batch so I can have it tomorrow or Thursday morning. I decided this morning that I’m going to get a DEXA scan to see where I’m at with my body fat/lean muscle mass because that will be another nice data point to compare over the long term. Luckily, living near Boston there are a few sites in the city that offer them. Happy Tuesday all!

12/27 …..192.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
12/28 …..193.6 ….. (Trend weight 191.7) I’m so very sick right now with what appears to be a bad cold and sore throat. Pasta last night was easy on the throat but hard on the scale. I went through 3 boxes of tissues since last night. I’ll have to send my daughter on a drug store run. Good luck everyone this round!
12/29 …..191.2 ….. Trend weight 191.7)
I am still so sick. I thank everyone for the well-wishes! It does appear to be a horrible head cold which is not healing as well as I would like due to my glucose being through the roof during this Christmas season. Only 2000 steps yesterday which is mainly bathroom or refilling coffee or water. No sleep last night. I hope this will pass soon! Nice to see a drop on the scale when my appetite has been just fine (of course!). Must be my body burning calories in fight mode.
12/30 …..192.0 ….. (Trend weight 191.7) Sickness getting worse. Moving into chest now. Lots of phlegm. Throat hurts from the coughing, not illness but it’s bad pain. Pressure in ears. Still no temp. I am hearing about other illness in my general area. Omnicon not within 150 miles of my county. Only 9 counties in Michigan affected and they are all downstate so I don’t think that is involved still. Good small meals yesterday of good choices but there was Christmas cookies and only 4000 steps as I layed on the couch most of the day.
12/31 …..191.6 ….. (Trend weight 191.7)Still so sick.
01/01 …..190.0 ….. (Trend weight 191.5) A small breakfast and a beautiful well-rounded dinner cooked by my daughter kept me in check. I did get a few pieces of bite-sized candy out of my stocking but NO CHRISTMAS COOKIES! No cookies also means less 2% regular milk (which also bloats me up). I’m very proud of how far everyone has come this year. You guys have made such wonderful progress on so many fronts! Thank you all for sharing your personal stories and your inner-most secrets with me, in all subjects from weight loss to family things. I learn everyday from you all and I also gather strength to go on. Happy New Year Everyone.
01/02 …..189.8 ….. (Trend weight 191.4) Dipping my toes into the 180’s and hope to Cannon Ball right into them any minute now. I am very happy to see my trend weight going down. It feels like the Universe has renewed it’s faith in me that I am truly shedding pounds. Still sick but my appetite is not affected.
01/03 …..191.0 ….. (Trend weight 191.3) I got nothin’. No clue why it went up. Yesterday was a low level movement day but excellent in diet. Only one snack. 3 bite-sized candies that were sugar free. Trapped in my livingroom due to some flooring disasters going around. Not real fun sitting on couch next to my stove and empty refrigerator. He has to start over but after 24 hours, the floor adhesive is still not dry. Poor cats are trapped in upstairs bedroom.
01/04 …..192.6 ….. (Trend weight 191.4) Normal meals and no goodies. I am wondering if my 2% milk is bloating me. I’ll probably have to go back to my lactose free Fairlife milk, it usually helps. Absolutely no movement or exercise. Still have flooring problems and am trapped in the livingroom which is packed full of stuff.

12/29 207.8 very surprised it’s not higher with all the junk I’ve been eating.
12/30 208.2 Sigh.
12/31 207.4 Better. Still eating the Christmas leftover goodies but having salads for dinner. Thinking about New Year’s goals and realized I will hit 60 in December, 348 days to be exact. I’ve spent most of my adult life being overweight. I would like to spend the rest being in a somewhat “normal” weight range. How will I do that? Slow and steady wins the race right? Fewer calories each day and more movement each day.
1/1 208.2 Not sure what happened yesterday. This morning I started doing a low impact workout,10 minutes but it’s a start. I want to do it for 7 days in a row. I did drink a lot more water yesterday than normal. So exercise and water are my two things to focus on this round. Food was better yesterday too.
1/2 208.0 Well something is always better than nothing. Looking on the positive, .2 everyday would bring a 73 pound loss over a year. DD and SIL coming over today to play games. I have soup and bread planned for meals. I have to watch the bread, I want that .2 loss for tomorrow. I also did the low impact workout this morning, two days a row.😊
1/3 207.4 Very happy with that. We spent yesterday playing board games with the adult kids and ate soup. DH and I made ham and 15 beans (which DD doesn't like) and potato soup (for DD). Also beer bread and cornbread. The bread is my weakness. I'm going to freeze the leftover bread in serving size bags to keep myself accountable. Having it frozen really keeps that impulse eating at bay a little better. I also did the low impact workout again this morning, #3 in a row. I'm planning on a salad for lunch and leftover soup for dinner.
1/4 207.8 Up and down. Meals were good but I did sneak a slice of beer bread, didn’t freeze it yet and I should have. Another workout #4. Ham and bean leftovers are planned for dinner tonight.

1: 207.0 Had a few drinks and some bar food, but still started fasting at my normal time. Was home and in bed earlier than I usually am. Didn't sleep well and ended up reading for an hour or two in the middle of the night. Starting a 3-day "juice" fast with an MFP friend today. I don't juice, so I'm doing protein shakes instead with frozen berries, MCT oil and a super greens supplement. Will probably have 2 a day, but I'll have to feel it out and be flexible about it. Still intend to stick to IF schedule with minimum 16-hour fast.
🎉Happy New Year! 🎉
2: 204.3 😮 I know I drop weight quickly during a cleanse, but I was not expecting 2.7 pounds overnight! I know it's not all "real" weight loss and there will be some rebound after these three days, but it's a nice number to see on the scale. January 13th goal was 205.
Had one protein/supplement shake yesterday after a 21-hour fast, and I'm feeling really good after 15 hours of fasting so far. Today might be a 2 shake day.
3: 202.6 Fasted 20 hours and 45 minutes. One shake. Today is my third and final day of this cleanse/reset. I've already hit the 16-hour fasting mark, but I'm not ready for my shake yet.
Looking at my fasting app, it occurred to me that because my daily net carbs have been so low I'm technically reaping the benefits of complete fasting. Tonight I will hit the 72 hour mark and shift into regeneration of immune cells. My first meal tomorrow will be another shake, so my fast will end when I have my first solid food sometime tomorrow afternoon (assuming it has enough carbs/calories). By the time all is said and done, I will total about 90 hours fasting. I'm feeling very good, and I think I'll do this again in July.
4: 201.4 Fasted 20 hours, followed by one shake. Late last night, I finally started to feel a bit hungry, so I drank some water and went to bed. I'm not entirely sure what to reasonably expect for a rebound weight tomorrow, but I'm hoping it isn't too much.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/28 / 191.2 / My trend weight is definitely up this week but I'm back on my deficit so it'll just be a matter of time before the drops start happening again. I am traveling at the end of this round so my routine will be a bit skewed but my Dad was recently diagnosed as diabetic so eating well at his house won't be an issue. Day off from work today so we'll see what fun we get up to.. my 45 minute bike ride is already done!
12/29 / 191 / Working today, still bitterly cold so I'll be hopping on the Peloton for my exercise later today. We have a nice chicken dinner planned for tonight. Got my COVID booster this morning.
12/30 / 190.6 / Last day on a planned normal deficit for the next week so I'll be making it count. Tomorrow my husband has a special dinner planned and then Jan 1-5 we are travelling so I'll be eating at maintenance -10%. Still hoping to enter 2022 in the 180's!
12/31 / 188.6 / Proud of what I've accomplished this year... 104.4 pounds, from morbidly obese to overweight, looking forward to tackling 2022 in the same fashion. Happy New Years everyone!
1/1 / 190.6 / Happy New Year! Started with a 45 minute PR on the Peloton and now my husband and I are doing the 11 hour drive to my dad's for a late holiday visit.
1/2 / 188 / Made it to Dad's for our visit. Nice to see him... out of our usual exercise routine here but we brought some dumbbells and I will do some Peloton cardio that doesn't require equipment.
1/3 / 188 / Good day at my Dad's, it's cold here too but I got my 10K steps just by walking inside, and we did our dumbbell routine as well. He isn't a food pusher so it's easy to eat on track here.
1/4 / 186.8 / Did a nice yoga routine yesterday, got just over 8K steps, and had a lovely dinner of homemade lasagna at my Aunt and Uncle's house. Having a lovely visit with family and staying on track at the same time. The best combo!

RGW: 147.7 pounds (- 2.0 pounds)
Day/Weight/Comment
12/28: 149.7 - I’ve been holding at this weight for the last 4 days, which considering the snacking and sweets that I’ve had isn’t too bad. This round I’m going to be focused on upping my protein so I can at least hit my 20% macro goal.
12/29: 149.7 - Worked out, ate within calories
12/30: 149.7 - Will need to change something to get things moving again
12/31: 149.7 - I have not been good about my eating lately. However, excited to end this year down and wearing my smaller clothes from a decade before.
1/01: 149.7 - Happy New Year! Didn’t get a workout in, but managed to eat sensibly yesterday.
1/02: 148.6 - Imagine that, working out and eating sensibly for a couple of days helps you lose weight.
1/03: 148.6 - I didn’t eat after 8pm, but I shouldn’t have eaten the last bit of sweets
1/04: 149.7 - Oh dear. Back to where I’ve been since mid-December. I’ve added a daily walk on top of my daily aerobics dance and core workout. However, I think the sweets may be doing me in.

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable but I’ve been doing it for over 4 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

12/28 118.0 AF Nice visit yesterday with friend. Ate at Romero’s in Pahrump. So sad that Red Sky BBQ is permanently closed. They had the most beautiful side salad! Sort of surprised by the drop as I ate some house made chips and salsa and whatever refried beans were stuck to the cheese - probably not more than a tablespoon, really. LOL
12/29 117.5 AF 1/2 of Great Greek salad with steak. Going to the restaurant supply with daughter and friends this morning. Ate 1/2 an apple with Smucker’s Natural PB last night.
12/30 117.0 AF
12/31 118.0 AF Ladies movie and game night tonight. 3 of the 4 men in our small neighborhood group have other plans so my DH is going to stay home so what started as Game Night became chick flick time.

1/1 119.5 Totally fine with this. Played cards and had champagne and multiple foods at neighbors to kick 2021 to the curb.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/28 - 253lbs Starting this new challenge, and trying to get back on track after the holiday season. I’ve been successful for the last 6 months, but I have another year before reaching my goal weight. Keeping motivated and finding accountability is SO important to me right now!
12/29 - 251lbs I’m back to planning my meals and the difference is amazing. Way less snacking and so much easier to stay in my goal. The next goal is to really focus on adding way more fruit and vegetables to my meals.
12/30 - 250lbs Today was laundry day (SOOO thankful that Husband has taken over that duty) while packing for NYE weekend and it turned into a little closet cleaning. It’s bittersweet putting old (now too big for me) clothes in the sell/donate bin. Some pieces I’m happy to get them out, but a few others that I’ve had for years are sometimes difficult to let go. But they don’t fit anymore and that’s a great thing! I have fewer clothes and I don’t really have familiar pieces since I keep having to purchase new (smaller) items, so it’s more stressful getting dressed, but this time next year I’ll be at my final goal weight and I can build a full wardrobe then.
12/31 - 249lbs I’m back to my pre- Christmas Weight, but it’s also NYE so I’m guessing it’ll go back up tomorrow. #worthit Happy New Years, Pals!
1/1 - No scale access It was a lazy day with few calories burned, but only over my calorie goal a little. I’m calling it a win.
1/2 - No scale access We’re heading home today so another day sitting in the car. We’ve been craving Olive Garden and our nearest one is 3 hours away. So we ate lunch, and I have enough left for 2 more lunches this week. The break has been wonderful. But I’m ready to get back into a routine.
1/3 249.5 I couldn’t believe it, after 3 lazy days and overeating I only gained 1/2 a pound. I can tell a few places where I can see the lifestyle changes happening in my life. The first (and it might seem ridiculous to others) is that when I don’t like something- I don’t eat it, even if I’ve already started eating it. I’m feeling more in control of my food rather than the other way around. At breakfast yesterday, the eggs were terrible and halfway through I just stopped eating them. Why was I forcing myself to eat something I didn’t want? I even left half a piece of bacon on my plate because it was soggy and fatty. I don’t think I’ve ever left bacon uneaten. Cheers to actually changing my life and making new habits!
1/4 - 25lbs I guess my weekend finally caught up with the scale. I was slight disappointed(although not completely surprised) by the gain. But a few minutes later, while getting dressed for PD day, I realized that none of my jeans fit - they are all too big! So I guess I lost a few inches even if I gained back a few pounds. I’m working on filling up with protein and water today and I scheduled a shopping trip for tomorrow.

General Question: How do I see who has liked a post or given a virtual hug? When I click on the likes or hugs, I don't get anything.
I'm a 5'7" female in SE Michigan. I'm in my 50s.
My goal: be at a lower weight after 10 days than I was at the beginning.

UGW: 142 (but I'll be happy with 150 for now.)
SW (R173): ___
Day/Weight/Comment
12.28 - 157.8 This is a drop of almost a pound from yesterday. I feel like it may not be accurate. We are celebrating Sinterklaas today (dh is from NL), so that will be a challenge! Poffertjes, Dutch pancakes, letter cookies and more. I will enjoy but will try not to overdo things. (We celebrate so late b/c our grown kids want to celebrate - so we wait until they're in town with us to do that.)
12.29 - 160.2 😳 Maybe it's not all real, but a jump was not unexpected - though this is a large jump. I did indulge in the festivity goodies last night, and we started quite late so didn't finish until midnight. I'll use this as a reminder from my body to eat well and exercise today! 😊 I'll keep on keepin' on!
12.30 - 160.2 Tracked all food yesterday; went a bit over WW daily points but still within range. Went on a short jog in the afternoon.
12.31 - 159.2
1.1 - 160.2
1.2 - 159.8 Not really on track anymore; feeling quite exhausted as we've been hosting 3-4 additional people in our home for 2 weeks now. We finally said good bye to most of our houseguests this morning. Good to see them, especially our kids - of course. Still exhausting; need to restore my introverted side. LOL!
1.3 - 160.2 Back up. . . Had a quiet lazy day yesterday - did church online and did laundry. Not much else. Went out for dinner with D.
1.4 - 158.8 Went for a 2 mile jog along the river yesterday! Saw a formation of 4 trumpeter swans flying up the river. Tracked all food - went over but was within range. Ate a few sweets at night. Slept well. (So helpful to me.)

Hi! 60F, Round goal: 139.9 lbs, end-of-year goal: 140 lbs, UGW: 135 lbs by end of Feb
SW: 143.9 (12/27, end of last Round, full impact of Christmas foods!)
Day/Weight/Comment
12/28 142.8 Still working to drop the Christmas weight, will take a bit of time.
12/29 141.5 I have not yet gotten back to weighing everything, but am logging. Yesterday was a family birthday meal out at a restaurant and I did well in my food selection. Today is another restaurant meal. My husband is choosing the restaurant and hasn't made a decision yet, so I won't be able to review the calorie counts until I am there. Some restaurants don't have calorie counts on their menu, but I can guess fairly well what would be a lower calorie choice. Forgot again this time to state a Round goal; I added it up above.
12/30 140.8
12/31 142.6. Well, I don't think that I posted my weight for yesterday; I don't see a post. It has been very hectic for the past couple weeks (as for many!). I gave up on logging partway today (eating was typical, it's just that there have been so many dishes with unknown calorie counts!). I'm hoping I get back in the groove with all this; there is great need to do so, lol! I'm not happy with the uptick, but I fully believe it was warranted (higher calorie counts, probably higher carbs than typical, and higher salt). I am very impressed with so many of you who have maintained or lost weight during this holiday season!
1/1 141.6 Although I am still high from the Christmas uptick, I have continued my workouts throughout all of this. I enjoy working out (so very glad for this!) and am seeing some results.
1/2 141.6 Still not fully in the game, food-wise...
1/3 140.5. Logging most items, most days, but not weighing, but being mindful, estimating only, certainly over calories, not necessarily over maintenance the last couple days. Going 'down the hill' today, into the Denver area. This always involves eating lunch at a restaurant, making logging even more difficult.
1/4. 141.5. Still not yet back in the groove. (!) I started this adventure mid-Oct and had a one week vacation, Thanksgiving, and Christmas (and not being low calorie during those times). I was able to get back in the flow of things following the vacation (gained a pound a day then, whaaa?), but each of the holidays was a challenge. I only have 6.5 more pounds and sufficient time to lose it for my goal, but, but, but... I am so impressed with everyone else's discipline, especially for those with much to lose. I usually want to workout, but today, I'm not feeling the elliptical. I will still do the stretching, PT exercises, and weight lifting, though. Elliptical TBD. No upcoming events or meals at a restaurant for the next week or more. Today's lunch (our big meal of the day) is smoked/grilled chicken, leftover veggies and some roasted broccoli, and pasta with olive oil and fresh sage. No reason to not meet my calorie budget today.

SW: 383.4 - Round # 40 for me! (5100 steps daily step goal, go to bed by 11:30, no eating out or junk food 6 days a week)
Day/Weight/Comment (previous day steps)
12/28 383.4 – 5038 steps. I almost got my step goal, started too late. Eating ok, not the best even though I was under goal.
12/29 382.8 – 5469 steps. 2 days in a row doing short walks which helps and staying within calories.
12/30 381.0 – 5221 steps. No walk yesterday. Under calories. May not be under today, will try for sure. This group is really helping me be mindful of logging and what I eat. Just knowing I am sharing and reading some of the posts when I can helps me.
12/31 381.0 – 5235 steps. I am surprised, I thought I would be up. I had the munchies, but I logged it all and I was not too much over. Got in a short walk. The weekends are tough for me. I have a Zoom event Saturday. But I am going to start 2022 off right!
01/01 379.4 – 3739 steps. This drop is unexpected. I doubt it will stick with todays eats. We will see. If not, its ok. Back on track tomorrow.
01/02 380.4 – 4770
01/03 381.6 – 5115
01/04 381.6 – 5252 – I had a great day yesterday. Shooting for day number two for under calories and getting in steps.

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.

Oldie rejoined after falling off the wagon. Need your support to stick to it, my body is begging for better treatment.
R173 SW: 100.7 Goal: maintain control over food. <100
12/28 - 100.7 (0.0) Traveling yesterday, usually bloating after but since back home to my scale doesn't really know what to compare to
12/29 - 100.9. (+0.2) Massive headaches. Must be eating too little (keeping it~1400 but rounding up uncertainties, so maybe too low). Had to eat a bit more salty and sweet foods yesterday to cope. That is probably the reason for the small up.
12/30 - 101.3 (+0.5) had to eat maintenance yesterday (2100) because the headache was bad, and the fact that it stopped after eating is a bad sign. Will compensate today with food and/or exercise
12/31 - 100.4 (-0.3) some exercise and keeping under calories. Today will be a challenge with lots of yummy food and alcohol. I think I will let myself indulge today with no guilt. Will make it up tomorrow. Managed to do it for Christmas should be able to manage it now too.
01/01 - 101.5 (+0.8) Not surprised given the amount of salt and alcohol yesterday. Was debating if I should weigh myself at all, to not discourage myself. But thought I am strong enough to see the "damage" and get back on track. Let's see if this theory holds. Lots of fluids and light food planned for today
01/02 -101.0 (+0.3) Lots of junk yesterday, but I think I stayed under calories anyway.
01/03 - 100.7 (0.0) Officially last day of holiday season eating was yesterday. Time to get back on track. Proud of myself for managing "maintenance" levels almost every day. Despite the not-so-healthy content, but the back to the beginning of challenge is encouraging. Almost feels like an anomaly though. Everything else is on track. Now I have 3-4 days for that goal I set up at the beginning (and maybe a checkmark on that MINI GW2? Though I think I will wait until I achieve this consistently).
01/04 - 101.7 Managing very well till dinner. But then snacking after dinner feels unstoppable. Such a shame...
