Round 174
Please join us! Starting on 01/07 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 174
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
(1/6) =169 Fiton Leg workout, 1 mile walk, under 1000 calories, no evening snacking, YaY!
1/7 = 166.8 FitOn arm workout, under 1200 calories, to cold and windy to do much put quilt. -37 air temp, not sure the wind chill.
1/8 = 167.2 Weather was a fright, blowing snow, zero visibility, I was suppose to get my son at the airport two hours away, after only traveling five miles and seeing two cars in the ditch, and snow drifts across both lanes of traffic, I turned around. He got picked him up and dropped him off at my daughters in town. So anyway some stress going on because I failed my task for the day. Ugh! Over indulged.
1/9 = 166.2 Shoveled, trying snowmobiling a path so I could do chores without sinking, got the snowmobile stuck twice, more shoveling. I don't really like to snowmobile, can't wait for the boys to come home and clean out the yard. Visited friends so a bit more indulging but better at managing it.
1/10 = 168,6 FitOn Arm workout, walked a mile inside. My snacking time is evening, I did break down and had one piece of peanut brittle. I hate to throw it out but I should, though it was not large and I used it as a crutch to not have a caloried beverage or other snacks.
1/11 = 167.2 FitOn Balance and Focus workout. Weather is warming up. Hoping to go sking tomorrow.
1/12 = 167.6 FitOn Toned Arm Workout

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.

1/7- 200.4 (-.6) Ohhh! I thought today might be the day. I did swim yesterday, but it was after lunch and I felt so sluggish. I usually swim after a light breakfast. Still, despite the frigid weather, I did it and was really proud of myself. Fridays are usually the day I have my indulgence meal for the week. Lunch with a friend was cancelled so I may not. I haven’t decided yet. Just so close…
1/8- 200.2 (-.8) Argh! I stayed focused yesterday but was still disappointed. I will have my indulgence meal today, so this will bump up again before the next downward slide. Trusting the process.
1/9- 201.8 (+.8) I had my indulgence meal and enjoyed every bit of it. I’m back on track today and hope to be under 200# later this week.
1/10- 201.2 (+.2) Dropping back down after my indulgence meal. No organized exercise today. I did go to Orange Theory yesterday. Still thrilled with how strong I’m getting after swimming and hiking so much.
1/11- 201.2 (+.2) Expecting a whoosh soon. I’ll be swimming today and getting back into my art studio.
1/12- 199.6 (-1.4) Woohoo! Happy dancing and burning extra calories here in Colorado. No organized exercise today…painting with friends. I’ve really focused on getting my water in the last few days and I think that made a big difference.22 -

1/07 - 178.8, ave 178.4
Oops—went a little nuts last night. The cold weather makes me crave fats & carbs! Back with a plan today. I just spent 20 min out throwing balls for Rory—it’s 7F (-14C) feels like -8 (-22). Bracing!
1/08 - 179.4, 178.6
Last minute dinner at friends’ place last night threw a big wrench in my tidy calorie plan. Fun, though! So hopefully back on track today. We got up late, so with late breakfast I may skip lunch, and dinner is planned. Now if I can get back to not snacking…. Off to brave the cold —Rory is full of beans and needs a good run.
1/09 - 179.2, 178.7
Time lag. Yesterday was barely over calorie goal, and today is planned. I’m making vegetarian mulligatawny soup for dinner—yummy. Enjoy your Sunday, everyone!
1/10 - 178.8, 178.7
Brrr. ❄️💨🌨 Otoh, the soup was really delish—DH went back for thirds! Everything restarts today—doggy school for Rory, a writing class I’m teaching—so I’m hoping that will leave less time to sit around and munch. 😁 I’ll miss dinner tonight for Rory’s class, so I’m making salmon patties and roasted sweet potatoes for lunch. That should hold me. Stay warm, those of you in the frigid zone!
1/11 - 178.4, 178.6
I think I’ll make Mondays & Tuesdays very low-cal days for the next 8 weeks—Rory has classes at dinner time Mon and lunch time Tues, so if I can just skip those meals…. I did fine last night. We’ll see how it goes.
1/12 - 178.4, 178.5
Ok, two very low calorie days in a row, and today is planned, so hoping for a drop tomorrow.

@schmoyew and @200karen
You've got this! Right now is the time not to give in or give up. These are the moments where we've all given up in the past, me included. If you need to, reset at maintenance for a week or two and give yourself some grace and then jump back in. I've been 250+ for the last 20+ years and never thought I'd be able to lose weight. Today, this very day, I'm at 199.6 and have lost 64.5 pounds since May. Trust the process. The losses will come.13 -

Going for 2 pounds this round. It's been below freezing, snowy and dark and it's harder to get out for long walks, but I'm staying in the lower end of my calories range, so doable.
01/08: 193.4 lbs (+0.4)
I'm totally OK with a slight bump up. Yesterday was a semi-rest day. Back at it today!
01/09: 194.4 lbs (+1.0)
Ugh. Bad choices yesterday and severely lacked water. Not happy about posting this but I need to be accountable.

Out of control. Gotta stop the free fall. Bad weekend, too much junk and not enough exercise.

Well, right direction at least! Not throwing in the towel just yet.

1/08: 148.4 - I’ve been eating back about half of my exercise calories, but the scale seems to be reflecting maintenance. Perhaps my logging isn’t accurate. These last 15 pounds are tough.
1/09: 148.4 - Same ‘ole, same ‘ole. Good exercise, good eating, good sleep.
1/10: 147.3 - Same workout, same lunch and dinner, so-so sleep.
1/11: 147.7 - Good workout plus an extra walk and ate within calories.

Hi, I’m Karen and am in my 50’s.
OSW-187 Sept. 2018
GW-150
1/7-169-Rode the horse, walked 5 miles and quilted. Long day of work today, so I made a sensible lunch.
1/8-168-Another long day of work and I’ll take a good lunch. Walked with the horse yesterday so we both could get some steps in and he does not walk as fast as I do as we slog through the powdery dirt of the arena. We will try it again today before work.
1/9-169-Walked a mile with the horse, and got ready for work. I work in a quilt shop and I sew samples for the shop. While I was sitting and sewing, my hip got a terrible knot in it. Pretty soon, I was limping around the shop while helping customers. When I got home and told my husband about it, we figured out it was my sciatic nerve. I guess walking in the deep arena dirt/sand is a little too much.......🙄
1/10-DNW-Had been doing stretches and then went to chiropractor yesterday and feel 90% better.
1/11-168-Still not ready to do long power walk, but I have figured out to ride the horse lightly. Need to take MIL to Dr. then work a little.
1/12-167-Back to chiropractor, then quilting and horse somewhere in there, I’ll gradually start walking longer distances again.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/06 …..194.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/07 …..192.6 ….. (Trend weight 191.9) Diet was about the same but I did get in some more housework type movement. Flooring is very close to being done. Today should be the final day. I worked on packing away Christmas items in some limited areas during the work. That calorie burn clearly made the difference today on the scale.
01/08 …..191.2 ….. Trend weight 191.9) Continued progress which I am grateful for. Again, I did not make any major dietary changes (I’ve been keeping it pretty good under the circumstances), but more movement as I continued to work on Christmas décor and replacing it back with my usual stuff. Floor is 95% done with only some minor work such as moulding replacement etc. to be done. Today my handyman will finish and then begin helping with the Christmas work. Two trees should come down today. I woke up STARVING. I am going to try to stick to some high protein choices and some healthy fat to fill up my belly.
01/09 …..192.2 ….. (Trend weight 191.9) Very nice well-planned meals yesterday. Binge on snacks last night. The uptick is my own fault. I’ll do better today.
01/10 …..194.4 ….. (Trend weight 192.1)A ton of company unexpected last night. Pizza for dinner. Huge leap on the scale. Pushing water today.
01/11 …..192.6 ….. (Trend weight 192.2) Strange. I ate the exact same food as the day before. Same breakfast, same lack of lunch and the same amount of pizza (leftovers) and this time I lost instead of gained. No difference in TMI and no difference in exercise. Hmph. I hope the leftovers don’t catch up to me and wreak havoc again! Dining room getting painted. He’s been working on it a couple of days. It’s looking good and may be completed by today. It’s another temporary project to update things until the full kitchen / diningroom reno.
01/12 …..192.6 ….. (Trend weight 192.2) No change but it was a very reasonable day.

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!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/07 208.6 Well not starting out well at all. Did do day # 7 on the workout video.
01/08 208.8 I gotta quit eating that darn bread. Positive thing today is that I did get in another workout #8.
01/09 207.6 No bread! Controlled snacks! Go in extra walking yesterday. It’s amazing what happens when you try.
01/10 206.6 Wow!! What?! I’ll take it. The scale was wonky this morning so it’s probably wrong but we will see tomorrow. The thought today is Discipline. I need to be disciplined in food choices, water and exercise. Got in more walking yesterday so will try that again today. Also did my workout this morning #10.
01/11 206.6 Yay, yesterday was not a fluke. Ate well and exercised. Today I’ve already got in #11 workout and it’s getting easier.
01/12 206.4 Another good day. #12 low impact workout done.

7: 204.4 Holding steady. I'm good with this. Pre-TOM weight gains haven't started, or they at least aren't showing up on the scale.
8: 203.8 Pleasantly surprised. Carbs, calories, water were all great yesterday. Just anticipating those little gains that used to be so normal for this time of the month.
9: 204.5 Calories and macros were good yesterday. Cramps today, so fairly certain this is pre-TOM weight. Will be gone in a couple days.
10: 204.6 Hormones. No worries. It'll be back down soon.
11: 204.5 Had a hard time falling asleep last night. Took kids to school and took a 3-hour nap when I got home. Weighed again after because I was curious...202.7. Makes me think the drop after TOM actually starts might be a significant one.

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!Spoiler- 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.

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!

My journey … "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"SpoilerIn 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.

Day/Weight/Comment
1. 7 - 159.2
1.8 - 160.6 😳 Quite a jump! Dh and I went out to a favorite Tappas place last night. I did a yoga video, very low-key. I am slightly sore today.
1.9 - 160.4 I tracked all my food yesterday, I just ate too much of it! I'm having a hard time getting my head back in the game; weather is not inspiring for jogging outdoors, and I don't enjoy exercising indoors as much. . . Will try to get myself out there for a short (cold and windy!) jog this afternoon.
1.10 - 160.2
1.11 - 159.8
1.12 - 159.8 Having issues with my back again. Snacking was under control yesterday. Jog did not happen today with work and dogs and needing to get dinner on the table so D can get to a 7 pm meeting. Maybe tomorrow - during this heat wave. Highs are in the 30s!

1/11- 209.8- had a great day and am looking forward to a great week!

Goal for this round: Maintain weight while continuing to focus on strength training and running
Previous days1/11 Didn’t get to post. I started one but didn’t have a chance to do the last step.Spoiler
1/7 122.8 My scale has been wonky but I’m also just feeling puffy and bloated from having Thai food two days in a row. My husband and I tried the new place in the center and got a couple of their staple resulting to two days of Thai food for either lunch or dinner. It was worth it though because I hadn’t had Thai in a while! I’m drinking lots of water and dandelion tea to help with the bloat/puffy feeling. Our first “real” snow storm of season is going on outside my window and it looks so pretty! I might not feel that way in March when it’s still snowing but I’ll happily take it now lol. I did a 45 minute heavy hills/hiit spin bike ride in leu of running this morning in the storm. Then I cooled down for another 15 minutes on the bike at an easier pace. It’s been a crazy work week, hence not posting yesterday but I’m glad today is a little quieter.
1/8 122.4 At least it went down right? I’ve had a super productive day getting things done around the house. I took down the Christmas ornaments and lights, went grocery shopping, made bread which came out better than last weeks, cleaned the aero garden before my new flowers arrive for it, put a load of laundry in the wash, have an empty sink, and a couple other things. For physical activity, I decided to give my body a full rest day today but I have at least 100 active calories on my garmin watch. I woke up with a ton of energy and was dressed an out of bed by 6 this morning. It’s been a long time since I’ve had this much energy, so I wanted to take advantage of it. Breakfast was cereal, lunch was a cheese and crackers with some fruit, a snack was a slice or two of my bread and dinner will be beef bulgogi with sauteed mushrooms, cabbage, and onions. My goal this week is to eat more vegetables during the day. So tomorrow I’m going to cut up some veggies that will be easy to munch on during the week.
1/9 120.6 That’s a better number and I feel it too. I felt less puffy/bloated this morning. I did a 30 minute spin bike ride and then my husband and I went for a walk around the local pond trail. Breakfast consisted of eggs with peppers and caramelized onion cheddar from Trader Joes, toast with my homemade bread, and an apple; lunch will be a mini cheese board for 1 and dinner will be cranberry bbq sauce turkey meatballs served over brown rice with a side of broccoli and left over cabbage from last night. I hope every had a good weekend!
1/10 119.8 Ran 6 miles this morning. Tested out my running YakTrax and they helped give me a bit more confidence with the sporadic icy spots. My run definitely would have been more sketchy without them. I also plan to do some sort of strength training on my lunch today. On the menu tonight will be short ribs with carrots, onions, fennel, kohlrabi, and the homemade bread from Saturday. This is going to be a somewhat long week for me with a potentially very tired husband who is scheduled to work his per diem OT job every day this week because another therapist is out sick. He typically works two or three days in a row and then has a day or a few off to recover mentally/physically. Here’s to hoping we don’t hate each other by Friday with his job taking so much energy out of him/potentially increasing crankiness. Fingers crossed!
1/12 The past couple days have been bleh eating wise. TOM is arriving later this week and I’m feeling it with the fatigue and not caring about what I eat. I ran 5 miles this morning but did yoga instead of my normal strength training on Wednesdays because I was just tired and not feeling it. After work my husband and I also went for a 2ish mile walk. Hoping to feel better once TOM finally arrives. These hormonal fluctuations are rather annoying. Sorry for the complaining. On the bright side, the week is now more than halfway over.

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
