• 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!😷

February 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!

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!

2/16 - 146 - I think Super Bowl Sunday just caught up with me. Sometimes it takes a couple days. I've been eating well the past couple days so this should hopefully come back down.
2/17 - 145.5 - I'm tracking my food and getting in my steps.

2/16- 187.4 78 net carbs, step goal hit, and Pelo ride done. I go to see the doc today. I’m curious what she may suggest to help with this stall.

2/17- 187.6 73 net carbs, steps in, and strength training done. Doc told me to eat more-by about 200 more calories than I’ve been eating lately- so yesterday I did just that. Not surprised to see the uptick this morning considering, but I’ll wait (not so) patiently for my body to catch up and start dropping again.

This sloth actually increased his heart rate last evening for the first time in a while.

Which reminds me of my favorite super bowl commercial, where the sloth made a dash for the Doritos.

Not much to report today.

Yesterday I bought a new phone. (All the better to read your posts my dear.) There was a short period of limbo where my old phone was disabled, but my new phone wasn’t fully populated with apps to my liking. I felt like I was in no-man’s land. THAT is an aspect of our culture that I am not happy about.

I feel like the monkey who can get his hand in the narrow opening of the cookie jar, but when he grasps a cookie, he can’t get it out without letting go of the cookie. I bought a new “cookie jar” yesterday that I carry around with me wherever I go.

@PrimalJillian You can do it!!

@Nicoles0305 I'm glad you have a great doctor. On days without exercise, I'm at 1200 calories. I usually eat back half or two-thirds of my extra calories on days I exercise and then have one indulgence meal a week. The indulgence meal helps because I know I can have anything if I just wait until the end of the week.

2/16- 195.6 (-1.8) Hmmm…this isn’t my lowest weight, but part of the bouncing that’s been happening since the beginning of the month. I’m back on plan and started yesterday after ten days of a maintenance break. My lowest weight earlier in the month was 195.2. I’m happy to be getting close and hope to blow right past that in the next week. I swam yesterday. Today is a busy day so no organized exercise. Just lots of water.
2/17- 194.4 (-3.0) There it is! A new low. I’ve been focused on drinking all my water and staying on plan the last few days. I’ve lost over 24% of my body weight and am 2/3rds of the way to my goal weight of 160. Woohoo! I’m so glad I took a break instead of getting frustrated.

Round 177 end weight 265
2/16: 263.4 - Down 16.6 pounds - Victory! The final days of round 177 were so confusing. I was consistently gaining weight for a few days, and then on the last day I was finally back down. So glad to be starting round 178 strong
2/17 - 262.6 - Down 17.4 pounds - Whoop whoop! I'm so proud of myself. Yesterday was the end of my 4 week challenge to eat right and workout daily. I lost 10.8 pounds! Wow. I'm hoping to keep this trend going and try to lose as much as possible before TOM. I'm still basking in the glow of being consistent for 4 whole weeks. I've never done that before. I finish a 3 week workout program today. I'll be taking the weekend to rest, and then on to a new program on Monday.

This is a surprise, as I was a bit over calorie goal yesterday. Otoh, I find that I often drop a bit after a higher day following several low ones. Anyway, I have today planned.

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. I’ve been doing it for over 4.5 years with amazing results!

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

2/17 251.6 Back to PT again and my knee is already feeling better, which is a relief. Meals are planned and logged for today. Trying protein pasta for the first time tonight, with chicken and a little pesto. Major NSV yesterday – tried on a fitted shirt I hadn’t worn in three months (because it was tight) and it was loose through the torso!

Losing weight is definitely a test of perseverance and patience. Unfortunately the weather stopped me from my evening walk last night, wondering if that had an effect on today's weigh in. Either way, still going strong and looking forward to an active weekend (rain, hail or shine) 😊

2/16 369.4 – 5935 steps. Happy about the loss and being in a new decade also. Now to maintain it. When I get into a new decade it takes a minute to stick it firmly. I increased step goal from 5100 to 5500.
2/17 369.4 – 5680 steps. Too many carbs yesterday but within calories and it was clean carbs. Short walk. I signed up for 6000 step challenge on MFP so I will see how many days I can hit 6000 steps. It is not out of my range especially on the days I go to the office which is 2 days a week.

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.

@PrimalJillian You can do it!!

@Nicoles0305 I'm glad you have a great doctor. On days without exercise, I'm at 1200 calories. I usually eat back half or two-thirds of my extra calories on days I exercise and then have one indulgence meal a week. The indulgence meal helps because I know I can have anything if I just wait until the end of the week.

Thanks! I’m glad for my doc too. I had gone to another one all my life-he literally delivered me- but he retired a few years back now so I was forced to find a new one. It’s been a blessing though. The last few years with my old doc, I felt like he didn’t really take my concerns seriously. This new one actually listens, and she is also a part of the local bariatric clinic too, in addition to the primary care practice I see her at. I trust she knows what she’s doing, as she sees many patients for pre and post bariatric surgery care.

Round 178 (110th for me). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.

Need to knuckle down now and make each round count, DS's wedding is later this spring & I want to feel happy with myself on the day. Aim this round to be lower than the start, concentrate on good food choices & think before I put anything in my mouth!!

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 then I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.
