Day/Weight/Comment

01/07 / 186.8 / First day of work for 2022 was today! Busy day... one week work weeks are the best
01/08 / 185.2 / Really had trouble sleeping overnight. Luckily today is low key so I can rest up more this morning as needed.
01/09 / 185.4 / Set a new 45 minute PR on the Peloton yesterday, finished up some leftover frozen appetizers from the holiday season, and watched some movies with the hubby. Also got out for my first outdoor walk of 2022... the weather is improving this week! Woo hoo!
01/10 / 184.8 / One of my intentions for 2022 is to use this new body I have in all sorts of fun ways. So, yesterday we went snowshoeing. It was a lot of fun and thank goodness the cold is breaking a bit here in Alberta. This morning I did my 100th Peloton ride live and got a shout out and that felt very encouraging to me. Proud of how far I've come and excited to keep moving forward.
01/11 / 184.6 / Hit my round goal - been feeling great, moving lots, and eating well. The nicer weather and the ability to be outside more comfortably for walks is a mood improver too. Work is busy so I think I'll enjoy the rest of the evening with my feet up.
01/12 / 183.4 / There are those rounds where the weight just seems to fall off! And in the moment it feels surreal. And then you're humbled by the next round. It feels great in the moment. Life feels busy this week, but just with routine stuff. One foot in front of the other
01/13 / 184.6 / Work is kicking my butt this week. Glad I got my Peloton ride in before work today because I'm exhausted tonight. Food has been good.
01/14 / 183.2 / Happy Friday. Weekend will be full of fun and movement. Just have to wrap up the work week first.
01/15 / 182.2 / Today we drive up to the Red Deer area where our dog will be groomed while we have breakfast at this cute little tea house. It's a tradition now. As long as the weather holds we'll also go to an off-leash park for a walk when she's done. Bills playoff game tonight!
01/16 / 184.4 / Goal met and feeling great. This weekend recharged my batteries in every way. My husband and my dog went out to Kananaskis to snowshoe today. The weather was divine!

See you all in R175!!

Round 173 #️⃣1️⃣ (SW 253, FW 249)

Round 174

1/7- 249 The scale has been holding mostly steady over the holidays, so I would really like to break past my current rut and get to 247 at the end of ten days. I’m working on increasing my protein, fiber, and water intake.

1/8- 248 Yay for a drop! The in-laws are here for a week and watching Husband coach a lot of basketball, so I’m sitting on a lot of bleachers this week. Really making sure I stay under the calorie goal and especially fitting in the protein, I can tell it’s making a difference.

1/9 - 247.5 Another drop! 😆 l don’t have a lot to add from yesterday’s comments. It has been a nice, relaxing Sunday. Tomorrow I’m going to see some friends I haven’t seen in a year(ish) so I’m excited to see their reactions!

1/10 - 248.5

1/11 - 250 I’m stressed and 2nd gain is very disappointing. I was disappointed yesterday, I hadn’t expected a drop, but I wasn’t expecting a pound up. It was a busy day yesterday. The in-laws are STILL here, Husband had a basketball game about an hour away so I took a half day off and we didn’t get dinner until 8:00. If I were alone I would’ve eaten out of town, grabbed a McDs cheeseburger, eaten earlier, and been below my calorie goal. But FIL refused that plan and we at Sub Sandwiches an hour later… so to cut this long complaining story short, I expected another gain, but I’m still pissed about it.

1/12 249.5 I’m back with a more positive attitude today! 🙂 I did some stress crying and some cuddles with Husband last night and I’m feeling better today. I stayed under my calories yesterday and I have all my meals planned out for today with room for a little snack if I need/want one. I’m doing some shopping after school so I’ll get some extra steps in today as well. I’d love for the scale to get to 247 by the end of this round, so I’m still working towards that goal.

1/13 - 246 My meal plan went a little askew yesterday and I didn’t get to eat lunch, or much for dinner - I don’t think a 1,000 calorie day helped with the stress levels. BUT! I’m trying to continue with a positive attitude. Husband coached basketball again tonight, but it was a home game and I still got to make dinner, Stuffed Pepper Casserole, and the in-laws loved it! This has definitely been a roller coaster week. 🎢

1/14 246.5

1/15 246.5 Busy day yesterday so I didn’t get to post. It’s the last day with the in-laws (!) we’re traveling to the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum and meeting my parents there. It’s a few hours, but I’m planning to get out in the 25* weather for some extra steps, and maybe to escape. 😆 I’ll probably go over calories today, but I’ll try to keep it in moderation. I’m liking my progress through this stressful round.

1/16 I did not get to weigh due to traveling, but I’m guessing I’m up, also due to traveling. Anytime we spend the night out I make it a “cheat day” which wouldn’t be too bad if we didn’t travel so much. 😆 I was hoping for a less stressful Round 175, but we’re back to wearing masks at school tomorrow and I’m already dreading having to talk to parents about it. Just a reminder to be kind to all the public service professions out there, there’s a lot of pressure and a lot of blame out there and it’s not helping anyone get through this.

Round # 41 for me!
SW: 380.0 (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)
1/07 380.0 – 5158 steps.
1/08 382.0 – 5555 steps. Back on track today. Last 2 days have had the munchies and one day was a splurge day and splurged a little too much so I was not surprised by 2 pounds up. But that is ok, moving forward. Overall, I have doing great with sleep, water, steps, etc. I need to work on eating more veggies and less carbs. Not sure I will have a chance to check in tomorrow. Sundays are hectic. I do my ministry and religious meetings via zoom half of the day and errands the rest and before I know it Monday is here and time for work again. Have a great weekend! Please stay safe and take the necessary precautions when going out and in public places.

1/09 381.0 – 5509 steps.
1/10 381.0 – 4366 steps.
1/11 381.0 – 5151 steps. I have been under calories, but my calories have not been clean, and I have been eating back too many step calories also. Work has been a trip so have been overindulging in wrong foods and not enough proteins and veggies. I always eat 2 fruits per day. So going forward, goal is to get in protein and veggies or eat more cleanly the rest of this round. The good thing is I have been maintaining, but too much of a good thing always ends up in a gain eventually!

1/12 377.6 – 5153 steps. Under calories again and did a short walk also yesterday. I am hoping to stay in the new decade for good now! It feels wonderful to be out of the red for the round and in a new decade. It has been a while since I have seen 377 and I am loving it for sure. Now I just want to stick the 370's this round. Whoohoo! Happy dance!

1/13 374.4 – 5168 steps. Great day yesterday and doing good on challenge with friends on no eating out this month. I am surprised at how easy this has been also. Mid-month and I have not had any restaurant food since New Year’s Day which for me is awesome. I am cleaning out my freezer At 1st I thought I can’t do this but now that I am doing it, I am like good and my stomach loves it too. Good reminder that I was not being good to my stomach.

1/14 373.4 – 3811 steps. No walk yesterday, going for a walk today.

1/15 373.4 – 5670 steps. I had a calorie deficit yesterday but that was because of steps and walk. I splurged a little and enjoyed it. I started reading “The Obesity Code” by Jason Fung MD today. I have been wanting to read this book for some time now since Intermittent Fasting was recommended to me by my PCP, but I found that book hard to read. I did however research IF and I did it for a while and I still think it is a good way to eat and has many benefits. Even though I don’t follow it 100% I do follow it 4 to 5 days during the work week.

1/16 375.2 – 6983 steps. I did not log today. Very satisfied with almost 5 pounds lost this round. I think gain could be salt. Not sure. We will see.
Total lost this round: (-4.8)

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

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.

I'm curious. In another group I belong to we have the ability to edit/update our posts. That would work so well in this challenge. Any idea why the option is available to some and not to others?

You can edit for up to an hour after you post, as far as I am aware it is the same in all forums. Click on the three little dots in the top right hand corner of your post.

171 EW: 194.2
172 EW: 194.4
173 EW: 194.6

Goals: HIT.MY.STEP.GOAL!!! 10,000/day; <100 carbs/day; Pelo ride 2-3x/week; end the round lower than what I started it at.


1/7- 193.6 47 net carbs, Pelo ride done, and step goal achieved yesterday. Getting closer to my pre Christmas low!

1/8- 193.4 63 net carbs and almost made the step goal. It was a day spent in the kitchen decorating a cake, so a small loss is great considering.

1/9- 192.2 Only a pound away from my pre Christmas low! 63net carbs yesterday.

1/10-190.2 Well I’m not sure how that happened, but WOOHOO! I even had a beer with dinner last night, which I wasn’t sure how it would affect things. 72 net carbs and a Pelo ride in. Let’s make today great too!!

1/11- 189.8 NEW DECADE!! Even with pizza night and it’s extra carbs last night, I still dropped. I wound up resetting my calorie goal last weekend because the previous 1260/day was starting to take a mental toll. Now with an additional 200 calories a day, it’s much easier. Finished yesterday with 92 net carbs, step goal hit, and strength training done.

1/12- 189.8 I was hoping for a drop, but considering the big drops of late, I’m okay with staying the same. 88 net carbs yesterday and Pelo ride done. Planning to make today a lower carb day, as pizza and sushi the past two days have put me higher than usual. I suspect that might be influencing the scale just a bit.

1/13- 189.8 Stayed the same for the third day in a row. I’m going to guess my body is playing catch up from the big drops over the weekend, since yesterday was only 53 net carbs. Did my strength training too, but fell short on steps as I started to feel really nauseous while I was trying to get them in.

1/14- 191.0 I’m not sure why. I hit all of my goals yesterday- steps, Pelo, 53 net carbs. And it’s not yet time for the monthly hormonal shift. I just might have to have a glass of wine tonight. Maybe it would flush me out like the beer did on Sunday. 😂

1/15- 192.0 66 net carbs

1/16- 192.2 and more carbs than optimal. Had a birthday dinner with my MIL, which included pizza, cake, and wine. Really, I’m surprised it’s not more!

Total round change: -2.6 I’ll take it!

Kate (group leader) said she changed the settings so we could edit weekly. I went back to my weekly weigh in post there and was able to update my weight on my original post. It would be sweet if this can be done for all groups

1/7 So last night I has Chinese food and with the snowstorm this morning, I dressed so quickly in anticipation of shoveling out, I never weighed. Drinking lots of water this morning…
1/8 215.1 Got a bad case of the munchies on Friday night.
1/9 215.1 Better today, got to the gym…
1/10 215.1 Laundry and finances conversations…
1/11 214.3 New workout routine…
1/12 211.6 Talk about a whoosh…Had a physical with a new PCP yesterday. The nurse recorded my height incorrectly giving me a BMI of 41 so when the provider saw me, she stated I did not look like I have such a high BMI. I got that fixed quickly. I know that I have gained some but not that much!
1/13 214.2 Must have been a fluke of TOM is setting upon me
1/14 212.6 Who knows. Too many birthday’s in January. Tonight my sister’s little get together, twins birthday is January 26th they will be 5 years old! Tuna lettuce wraps for lunch in anticipation of barbecue tonight. Gym in the morning…

😎I'm hovering BELOW 140 (down 87lbs) 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼
• In Maintenance since July 2019
• Smart BMI - optimal weight.
• Muscle/Fat %ages in normal range

Just 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.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180's; 170's; 160's; 150's; 140's; 130's
I’m back to pre-Christmas weight! 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼

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!

Is @_JeffreyD_ taking a break? I've not seen him post in the last couple of rounds. Missing his humor!

Thanks for asking! I am away from my normal routine for a couple more weeks then I plan to rejoin. I do have my scale with me. I courageously step on it each morning in spite of the results. 🤪

Whew!!! Glad to hear you are doing well … where did you and your scale travel?

Take care and enjoy.

Southern Florida @Lilylady3k . What round are you on now.?

@whitej1234 - Hi! So your 178cm tall? That’s 5foot 10 inches in US? I have to be wrong. And your goal is to weigh 91 pounds? Just inquiring, not judging one bit. But it seems I have something wrong, as 91 pounds would be suitable for a person 5 feet tall, not 5 feet 10 inches.
Thanks in advance.

@SherryRueter Totally too late to answer on my side, but I just saw it now. Goal is 91 kg 91 pounds I think my bones alone weigh more then that, haha

@whitej1234 That makes more sense!
