Hi, I’m Karen and am in my 50’s.
OSW-187 Sept. 2018
GW-149

2/17-171- Went out to a birthday dinner for a friend. Tried to make wise choices; did not order a drink (or two) like everyone else, but had two big glasses of water instead.
2/18-168-Heading into the weekend lower, hopefully that will help. I need to get back to walking now that the almond trees are in full bloom, not only is it beautiful, but ALL of the bees are very busy!
2/19-168-Quiet weekend ahead, I have sprouted a bunch of seeds and they need transplanting and that takes time. Horse, quilting and a walk.....

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.

Round # 45 for me!
SW: 371.4 (5500 step goal, goal to lose 2 to 3 lbs. each challenge, go to bed by 11:30, no eating out more than once every 10-day challenge)
Day/Weight/Comment (previous day steps)
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.
2/18 367.8 – 6088 steps. I did a workout yesterday and ate well. I had a planned lunch with a friend today. We picked a healthy friendly restaurant. Hard to count calories. So, I estimated. I enjoyed it. This is the 2nd time I have went to a restaurant since the Pandemic started. We went at 11 before lunch crowd. It had a grill and instead of all you can eat grill I ordered from the menu which was better, and my friend followed my lead even though I knew she wanted to go up. I did it for calories and did not want to go up with others who were in line. Ordering from menu does not lend itself to overeating. I had half of it left which I will eat Saturday or Sunday. I think I am going to eat it Sunday depending on my weight tomorrow because of sodium. No chance to drink a lot of water because when I am out and about, I do not drink water because I do not like using public restrooms. I had errands and visited my Dad in the nursing home and it was a long day which is good to burn those calories! 2/19 369.0 – 8225 steps. This was expected. I am ok with it; I had a great time yesterday and I stayed in the 360’s. I will be drinking my water today and try to get in a good workout.

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.

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.

Snowy winter this year!
I got a bit of exercise doing some snow removal yesterday.

Worked from home. I can not understand those who say they get more done working from home. Their work-place environments must be chaos.

2/19: 213.4
Celebrated Chinese New Year with some good friends yesterday. Our friends have spent significant time living in China, so they know which local restaurant does the best job of creating authentic cuisine. So good…and salty. Calories were reasonable.

Goals:

Goal for 178, just try to keep focus for one whole round of 10 days!

The “boys”, AKA the cats, Harry and Han Solo, are going to get tracked once per round as well. Maybe this way I will not keep losing my data for them

SW: 137.0
Cats: Harry 10 lb 15.5 oz Han Solo 11lb 11 oz

2/18 – 138.8

2/19 – 138.4 so this round had a rough start. Today is day 4, I think I have settled in. I am just struggling so much to not keep resorting to bad choices. Little things set me off. Yet, a year ago, those same “things” would not have distracted me.

Good morning. I'm disappointed with myself, because I let emotional pain steer some of my decisions last night, namely consuming alcohol. A "friend" flat out lied to me and when she was caught in the lie didn't bother to say anything at all, not even another lie to cover the last one. I was at a concert, and I had planned to have one or two drinks, but instead I had 6. If I wasn't at a concert I would have gone for a walk and used that to self sooth. The other thing is that I can't talk to anyone about it, because I'm so ashamed, which makes it harder. Thanks for letting me vent here. Today is a new day and the sun is out, so I'm going to turn that frown upside down.
I'm surprised that this morning's weigh in was lower again. I was convinced it would go up from the drinks and pasta. Maybe tomorrow it will go up? 🤔

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!

Day/Weight/Comment

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.
2/18 - 145.5 - I'll be measuring and weighing all my food this weekend.
2/19 - 146 - I measured 400 calories worth of pizza last night which kept me in my calorie range. However, the carbs and sodium bumped up my weight this morning. I have my catered lunch in the office today. I made good choices last week and plan to make good choices today.
2/20 - 145.5 - I was not as good as I had hoped yesterday. I'm sure the weight will show up in the next day or two.

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.

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.

2/18- 187.6 It appears as though the monthly hormonal stall has arrived. Last one brought on this month long stall though, so hopefully this one will end it. 68 net carbs, but fell short on steps, and postponed my usual Pelo ride till today, since I was so busy yesterday.

2/19- 187.8 Considering last night was my weekly indulgence, only a 0.2 gain is great! I got my Pelo ride in but not all of my steps. My carbs were only over my 100 net goal by 12, so not bad! On to today!

2/20- 189.0 And there’s the hormonal influx. That it’s actually following its normal pattern this month gives me hope. Hope that this one will take this stall with it when it goes! 91 net carbs, but fell short on steps. I’ll do better today.
