Day/Weight/Comment
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. December 31, 2020 my weight was at 207.0. Down 15.4 pounds. I plan on working even harder in 2022.

Wow! Finally got the up the nerve to weigh myself after the Thanksgiving to Christmas eat-a-thon. I tried to eat well for 2 the last days hoping to move the scale down so I would not know how much I really gained. This sounds very pathetic now that I have written it down. Funny I was just going to check out when the next 10 day challenge was going to start... hoping today would be some middle day giving me a chance to procrastinate some more. But kismet would be today so here I come again, hoping to relearn all my lessons again. #1Weigh myself and #2 Weigh my food and to be accountable seems what works best for me. Happy New Year and Good Luck to you all.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/28- 124.6- Thank goodness not over 125, but I was trying to cheat myself by eating better yesterday and Sunday
12/29- 123.2- Since I have not weighted myself for several months I have no idea if yesterdays or todays weight are accurate. But ego wise being down like this mentally puts me in a nice place. Did a spin class and played pickleball yesterday- hate spin but is so good for me that I am going to try to do at least 3 x a week. Slept in this morning missing my Body Pump class, hopefully will try to do some weights this afternoon
12/30- 124.0- Knew this was going to be a rollercoaster ride...But now so much more aware of my body's idiosyncrasies probably will see a drop tomorrow. Have been really suffering with acid reflux so have had to restrict my diet and eating window- guess a perfect time to lose weight
12/31-124.0- Well did have wonderful dinner with the kids( who are adults now) But have not had spaghetti and meatballs it seems like forever- delicious... so it is very nice to be still 124. Yesterday 2 1/2 hours of great pickleball play over 54 players and 13 courts going great play and completion, but a little sore but not enough to keep me home today. Another great day today of 2 1/2 hours constant fantastic play - will be resting tomorrow. Happy New Year All!!!!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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!

Round 173 (105th for me). I prove yet again round after round that I need this to help keep me on the straight and narrow.
There are only 4 days to New Year's Eve & dance !! Challenge this year is to feel good on my dress!
Covid numbers are soaring in England (Omnicron) – the pandemic is still very much here: Covid is still very much rife! Continue to wash hands, be kind, wear a mask in public indoor settings, think before you head out, stay alert and always consider others.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But than I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

12/28: 136.6 - managed to get in 9,4 miles walking in yesterday in-between the rain. Might not be so lucky today looking at the forecast!
12/29: 136.6 - 9.9 miles walked, planned around the rain again !
12/30:. 137.2 - no walking yesterday due to persistent rain & taking the last opportunity to spend some time with DD,DS & respective families before we travel home today.
12/31: 136.6 – 6.66 miles walked yesterday, managed to get it in before we packed up and travelled home as it was a dry morning – for a change!!! More on track with my eating; but 244, 45 & 5g calories, carbs & fat over respectively. Need to walk 11 miles today to hit my challenge for this year, a challenge indeed!
01/01:. Happy New Year!! Hope it is a better one for everyone than the last 2 years, Covid needs to be old news.
136.6 – 12.8 miles walked yesterday mostly made by possible by the fact that our visit to MIL in the care home was cancelled as one of the residents have tested positive Didn't wear my dress last as it felt too tight luckily had a contingency reserve dress in the wings !! Next year !! But had a brilliant night, we danced our feet of into the early hours. Good eating & drinking choices all within macros.

• Smart BMI - optimal weight.
• Muscle/Fat %ages in normal rangeJust because Covid restrictions aren’t compulsory doesn’t mean they’re not necessarily.
People are still dying out there……… and the numbers are on the rise again.
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
January focus:
maintain weight < 145 (I have been maintaining since July 2019)
Work on improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
I liked this so much I'm borrowing it.

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

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).

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 don'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 eith no guilt. Will make it up to tomorrow. Managed to do ot 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 "demage" and get back on track. Lets see if this theory holds. Lots of fluids and light food olanned for today

Round 173
Please join us! Starting on 11/18 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 173
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.

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 all the progress. 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!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. 🙂

Sticking’ with the plan!

Dark, wet, cold day, but I’m taking the pup out for a run. Then some house cleaning. Then, who knows? Have a lovely!

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! 🥂

Day/Weight/Comment
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.

Wow! Finally got the up the nerve to weigh myself after the Thanksgiving to Christmas eat-a-thon. I tried to eat well for 2 the last days hoping to move the scale down so I would not know how much I really gained. This sounds very pathetic now that I have written it down. Funny I was just going to check out when the next 10 day challenge was going to start... hoping today would be some middle day giving me a chance to procrastinate some more. But kismet would be today so here I come again, hoping to relearn all my lessons again. #1Weigh myself and #2 Weigh my food and to be accountable seems what works best for me. Happy New Year and Good Luck to you all.
SW:124.6
Day/Weight/Comment
12/28- 124.6- Thank goodness not over 125, but I was trying to cheat myself by eating better yesterday and Sunday
12/29- 123.2- Since I have not weighted myself for several months I have no idea if yesterdays or todays weight are accurate. But ego wise being down like this mentally puts me in a nice place. Did a spin class and played pickleball yesterday- hate spin but is so good for me that I am going to try to do at least 3 x a week. Slept in this morning missing my Body Pump class, hopefully will try to do some weights this afternoon
12/30- 124.0- Knew this was going to be a rollercoaster ride...But now so much more aware of my body's idiosyncrasies probably will see a drop tomorrow. Have been really suffering with acid reflux so have had to restrict my diet and eating window- guess a perfect time to lose weight
12/31-124.0- Well did have wonderful dinner with the kids( who are adults now) But have not had spaghetti and meatballs it seems like forever- delicious... so it is very nice to be still 124. Yesterday 2 1/2 hours of great pickleball play over 54 players and 13 courts going great play and completion, but a little sore but not enough to keep me home today. Another great day today of 2 1/2 hours constant fantastic play - will be resting tomorrow. Happy New Year All!!!!
1/1- 119.6- EEks! -I know this is an anomaly. Had a horrible migraine yesterday, trouble eating and still bloating and heartburn. My physician has prescribed me diuretics which I take on a rare occasion to counter my bloat- it really relieves all over body pain but also really drops your weight number ( this only second time I took the pill in last 6 months, last time was only 4 pounds). Was really surprised, know it will be back in 120's tomorrow. Before my headache was to bad played 2 1/2 hours of fantastic pickleball, bummer no pickleball today. Happy New Year to all...
