Hi, I’m Kathy.
57, F, 5’8”
6th round! Rebooting my lifestyle after several false starts. I need accountability to make sure it gets done.
Return to MFP SW (Dec 2021): 267
HSW: 267
CW: 247.6
UGW for now: 200, then reevaluate
Goal for this round: less than I started with
2022 goals: move more (okay, move some), eat mindfully
Day/Weight/Comment
3/8 247.6 Hi new round! Bouncing around this new low for a couple of days, I guess. Worked out yesterday – strength and cardio. I’m still working on figuring out what percentage of my exercise calories to eat back. My son is home for spring break so he came to the gym with me, which was great fun. No idea what’s for dinner tonight, so I guess I need to think about that sometime soon.
3/9 248.0 Welp. I think this is primarily water, when thinking about what I’ve been taking in and what I’ve been…expelling. I guess it’s no surprise given the workout increase. Trusting the process has worked so far, so I’ll continue that plan. Meals for today are planned and logged.
3/10 247.6 Still bouncing. Good news is that my knee is so much better after 5 weeks of PT. Feeling a little frustrated at the scale’s lack of movement but doing my best to keep on track. I can see and feel a difference, though, so that’s keeping me going.
3/11 246.6 It’s fascinating how my mind and body know when I need a little whoosh of encouragement! This came at a great time. Going out for hubby’s birthday dinner tonight and it will be a bit of a challenge, but I’ll do my best!
3/12 DNW
3/13 247.2
3/14 247.2 Friday night was as challenging as expected but I think another day or two of water and being back on the program will take care of it. Food for today is planned and logged and I’ll get in a workout this evening to take advantage of daylight savings time.
3/15 246.2 I guess I’ve left Friday night’s dinner behind me, which is great. It’s a beautiful day here so I’m going to try to get outside and take advantage of it. Everything planned for today. Have a good one, everybody!
3/16 246.0 Glad I got a walk outside yesterday because the weather is not so good today. @musicsax, thanks for your story about the chocolate. Your victory has given me inspiration – the chocolate in this house has gotten WAY too loud lately. Meals are planned and logged for today.

Day/Weight/Calories/Comment
3/08 - 178
I went a little crazy last night—cheese & triscuits, cinnamon toast. What? Oh, well, all in all I’m doing better with the snacks, so I won’t beat myself silly over this. Total calories were right around maintenance, so not too bad. But why, I ask myself, why?
3/09 - 178.4
I take it back. I’m not doing better with snacks, at least not last night. I think I’m going to take a close look at what I ate earlier on days I’ve gone crazy at night. I do know that carb-heavy dinners make me want more carbs later. Maybe there’s a really clear pattern I can make myself aware of. But, to paraphrase Scarlet, today’s another day, and I started with a healthy egg, cheese, & Canadian bacon on whole grain muffin breakfast. Much better than that arches place makes!
3/10 - 178
Still crazy after all these pounds, but drifting toward better.
3/11 - 179.6
Ok, time lag from 2&3 days ago. I was on track yesterday. If I stick to the plan, it will self correct. I have a low-cal, high-protein day planned. All good. Happy Friday!
3/12 - 181
What??? Whatever. Some of it must be H2O. I did have popcorn last night, but not THAT much! Very weird, very discouraging. Harumph. No hugs needed—I’m not upset, just bewildered. Anyway, the next 8 weeks will be very physical. I have Rory signed up for 6 classes (two levels of competition obedience, rally, scent work, agility, and run through for upcoming obedience trial, and I plan to get back to tracking training two days a week (lots of walking) plus regular long walks. And gardening season is coming right up. That should help!
3/13 - 179.6
Not great, but the right direction at least. Yesterday was very cold & windy, but I got out for a short walk. I also finished this commissioned watercolor (below)—so nice to be painting again! It’s been two years. 😕 It’s soup day (still on my soup-a-week routine, which is fun!). Today is Southwest corn and sweet potato, from the Moosewood low-fat cookbook. I’m adding chicken to up the protein. Looking forward to it.
3/14 - 179.2
💗 Thirty years? Thirty years! It’s our anniversary! We’ve had some adventures! I feel very lucky to have found a guy who supports whatever I want to do, from houses full of dogs and cats to writing and painting to building gardens and repainting the walls. I’ll try not to go too crazy, but do plan to enjoy a nice celebratory dinner!
3/15 - 179.2
Oh, good! I did have a nice Italian anniversary dinner—spinach lasagna and a house salad from one of our fav restaurants. DH and I split a piece of really luscious cheese cake. But my total calories for the day weren’t bad. Ok, off to doggy school! Maybe I can still break almost even this round.
3/16 - 179
I can’t believe this round is almost finished. Time—whoosh! It’s a lovely day so I’m off for a walk in the park and then Rory’s first agility class. He’s gonna love it! Then a little garden cleanup this afternoon. I don’t pick up leaves and old stems until we have +50F for at least a week, but I can prune back some vines and pull of the annual climbers, and tomorrow I’ll plant my sweet peas. I know it’s spring—the neighbor is mowing his lawn.

@RealTamaraB @KayHBE @tiabirdie56 @musicsax
After years of eating chicken breast I was reluctant to get thighs but they ARE so much more satisfying - tasty and filling! I’m so thankful for low carb/higher fat! And I always eat the chicken skin.

No change from yesterday. I feel puffy today though. And sore from weight training yesterday. But wishing for a good round for everyone!
03/09: 185 lbs (+0.6)
Had a much needed rest day yesterday, only a morning walk and some stretching. I usually get a slight bump anytime I do that. Not concerned in the slightest!
03/10: 185.4 lbs (+0.4)
Haven't been sleeping well. Waking up 4-5 hours before the alarm. Otherwise I'm sticking to my plans.
03/11: 185.4 lbs (-0.0)
Still feeling bloated. Managed to get back to sleep quicker than the last couple days after waking up at 2am for no reason. Feel more rested today so plan to be more active.
03/12: 182.2 lbs (-3.2)
I weighed twice to be sure. Drank a lot of water yesterday, peed a lot too. And slept better. Think the bloat is the answer. Anyway, new low!
03/13: 182.4 lbs (+0.2)
Expected a bigger rebound after yesterday so this is good! Slept better last night and feeling less stressed, more confident.
Taking a drive in the mountains today with a friend who's not very mobile. Walk this morning and hoping to get some steps in throughout the day.
03/14: 185.4 lbs (+3.0)
I realize one of the reasons I don't hang out with that friend very often is I make terrible choices. He always wants to eat at places that don't have healthy choices. I'm taking total responsibility for the slip, but I have to remember that's a problem in the future. Too much salt and alcohol, not enough movement. It will come back down.
03/15: 185 lbs (-0.4)
Easing back down. Hopefully gets back down before the end of the round. Not too worried about it as long as I keep doing the right things.
03/16: 184.8 lbs (-0.2)
Me, at least it's not up.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/07 …..198.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
03/08 …..197.8 ….. (Trend weight 196.9) I don’t think I’m eating enough or well enough at dinner. My snacks are reasonable (in most cases) but too many. Also, I’ve been staying up a bit later for time to myself (read, catch up on TV etc) so more time for snacks. I will have to plan better.
03/09 …..197.8 ….. [/color=[black] Trend weight 197.0) I made dinner for DD, DGS and a family friend. Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, asparagus and dinner rolls. My daughter followed it up by bringing in ice cream and carmel sauce. I kept my quantities good. I got in a few extra steps in general.
03/10 …..198.0 ….. (Trend weight 197.1) No TMI and I know that would help the scale. A good day overall yesterday but very little calorie burn due to having company most of the day. Lots of time at the kitchen table.
03/11 …..198.0 ….. (Trend weight 197.2) A much better well-planned day yesterday dietary-wise. Low level movement however. Sleep and bathroom duty both slightly better. No change on scale but it should be coming.
03/12 …..199.2 ….. (Trend weight 197.4) Ut oh. Looks like I’m going to get pretty hungry today because I will NOT go back to 200. Very odd though. Yesterday was another pretty good eating day honestly. I think this very low level movement is really hurting my efforts.
03/13 …..198.6 ….. (Trend weight 197.5) I had a super stressful day yesterday and today will not likely be much better. No sleep last night plus the loss of an hour due to daylight savings time. However, I had a good past few days and I knew it would catch up to the scale at some point. I appreciate the drop. It’s encouraging.
03/14 …..198.2 ….. (Trend weight 197.6) I don’t want to seem ungrateful. A drop on the scale is always welcomed and nice. But I am feeling like I’m wallowing around in the same mud hole lately. I’ve got to break this 198 thing and get going! I’ll be so happy this coming summer that I did! Come on Donna. You can do this!
03/15 …..199.0 ….. (Trend weight 197.7) A light breakfast, no lunch, out to dinner with son & his friend. Had a brisket sandwich, no sides, with water. 1 pc sugarfree candy last night. A gain! What has this yo-yo-ing done to my metabolism? Yikes….. Back to square one.
03/16 …..199.8 ….. (Trend weight 197.9) Well, I just can’t get much closer to 200 than this. Chinese yesterday. I have leftovers for today. Every other bite in my mouth will have to be carefully thought out.
03/17 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Day/Weight/Comment
3/8 ~ 196.6 - 15,200 and 104. Walked home from work today due to SO misplacing his keys, bad for him good for me! Made a spaghetti squash pizza for dinner was really good a bit time consuming but I liked it.
3/9 ~ 196.5 - 12,600 and 86 min, hit calories and fats. Still working on good balance of macros. Changed my second goal to 20 lb loss instead of 30 to keep me better in the game. Beautiful morning here wish I was outside enjoying it and not in this dark cupboard of an office. Have a great day all!
3/10 ~ 196.4 - 11,500 and 74 min. Maxed out on calories close on fat. SO is back home.
3/11 ~ 195.4 - Well that's a surprize!! 12,000 and 70. Low key day with fish tacos for dinner.
Grandson again tomorrow, sadly is suppose to rain. Happy Friday!!
3/12 ~ 194.7 - 15,500 and 78. Well think the added fats might be helping. Busy day with grandson today but not great weather.
3/13 ~ 194.5 Burned a few calories collecting pine cones and racing around an amazing playground we found. 14,000 and 72. Hope to get out for a nice long walk but the weather isn’t cooperating for SO to join. He figures he melts I guess. Lol.
3/14 ~ 194.2 - 17,300 and 118. Got a good walk in and went for dinner with MIL salad with Cajun chicken and shared calamari was expecting a gain, don't think I have figured out my calories yet. Worried I'm eating too low and also worried at the same time I'll get too high.
3/15 ~ 193.3 - Hmmm should I be worried? Guessing maybe the extra fats are helping? I am not any more hungry or craving? Hitting 1400 at least been out for dinner but also more active. 11,200 and 74.
3/16 ~ 192.8 - I don't know guess I will add another snack? Maybe its water weight and getting rid of bloat or the increase of my fat intake. Walked home from work 16,300 and 102.

First, I apologize for my little “come apart” the other day. I’m good and can certainly continue posting the beginning of the new rounds - just no pictures. Second, I’m not a computer/tech guru but when I only have a problem on one website, I think the problem is with that website and I shouldn’t have to delete everything to fix it.
I love this group and will continue for as long as I can. Thank you to those who talked me off the cliff and volunteered to take over. ❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘😘9 -

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.

3/8 121.5 Continued reflection of Sunday’s party. Today (neighbor’s actual b-day) we’re taking her to Golden Corral where I can get meat and veg/salad.
3/9 120.0
3/10 120.0
3/11 121.5 Ham and beans and cornbread. Sadly I expected this. I didn’t eat much but haven’t made them in at least 2.5 years and they were so good. I ate mostly ham. To whoever mentioned Leslie Sansone 5K with a Twist - thank you! I did a mile yesterday and will continue to work on this. After doing pretty much nothing for 2 years, this is a beginning!
3/12 121.0 Went shipping at Sam’s. Lots of steps plus walked in place watching TV.
3/13 120.5 This has been a long cold winter in Las Vegas.. I’m so ready for it to be over! I continue my indoor walking program and feel good. I seem to be having trouble accessing the community this morning. Why can I access everything else on the internet except this community?
Well I finally got on and was reading all messages. When I got to coblujay and the picture of her sweet Bubba, I got some screen about having encountered a problem and couldn’t get back to the community board!
3/14 120.0 I finally got to post yesterday. YAY! My carbs have been much higher the last week due to added fiber trying to get all “systems go.”
3/15 121.5 Had very late dinner and a huge glass of wine, not anywhere near enough water. Went to bed late and awake before 4AM. UGH
3/16 119.0 I didn’t feel well yesterday but I drank plenty of water - I didn’t even drink all of the coffee-a true indication that I didn’t feel well. I’m happy to report that I feel better today! 😁8 -

Day/Weight/Comment
3/8: 138.4 - Whoosh! Normal workout and eating yesterday, although I really wasn’t that hungry and consequently didn’t eat my first meal until around 2pm. Good sleep as well.
3/9: 138.4 - I’m a few pounds away from goal weight, so I finally went out and bought a couple of new pairs of jeans yesterday since even the smallest pants in my closet were too loose. I have pretty much been living in workout leggings for the last 6 months. It’s a much more enjoyable experience shopping when your body looks better in clothes. Normal workout and eating yesterday. So-so sleep.
3/10: 138.2 - Got my workout in despite a bit of a headache. Ate okay, but the majority of calories were dinner/dessert since I wasn’t feeling great until about 2pm. Woke up way too early this morning.
3/11: 139.3 - Normal workouts. However, a night of wine, chocolate, cheese and nuts (and carbs) with friends might have temporarily done me in. It was wonderful to see everyone though.
3/12: 139.1 - Instead of my normal workout, I did a 6 mile walk. Ate all of my exercise calories back.
3/13: 138.7 - Normal workouts and eating.
3/14: 138.2 - Had a little late evening mini-binge, but still within calories. Normal workouts and sleep.
3/15: 138.2 - Ate every single one of my exercise calories back. Normal workout and sleep.
3/16: 137.6 - A little surprised at the drop since I have been eating at the high end of my calorie range (including eating back most exercise calories) as well as some snacking later in the evening. Everything else has been normal in terms of workouts, sleep and food that I am eating.

SW-187 Sept. 2018.
GW-149
3/8-171-Bloated as all get out. Yesterday was a long busy day....board meeting then errands. All of this makes me eat garbage. Put all groceries away then sat down to type out meeting minutes while all was still fresh. Then pulled out treasurer bag for another group and got the reports for that meeting on Thursday. I am at the point where I cannot do everything and just need to say NO. I have not been exercising and have not ridden the fat horse in 2 days. Today is a new day and a new round and it starts NOW. I sure am glad you are all here!☕️
3/9-169-Off to a good start. Finished quilting the old fashioned quilt and just need to get the binding on it. Short horse ride. Little baking today for our quilting bake sale tomorrow. Should get a walk in later this afternoon.
3/10-168-Working half day, will walk this morning first. Light, but sufficient eating yesterday.
3/11-DNW- Brought baked goods to quilting and sampled them as I packed them up. Walked 2 miles before work. Work again today and it’s all day on my feet at the quilt shop, so I will be tired when I get home. Dinner will be easy.
3/12-167-168-167-I’m on a roll and now have a problem: tonight is a crab feed with all the bread I would never want....cold French bread..... I just need to tell myself all day that it is not worth it. Walked 2 miles working in the quilt shop and will do it again today. The horse is loving his break I am giving him.....
3/14-171-This is all just bloat from the weekend. I am thrilled that the days will be longer; I love getting to walk after dinner. Horse lesson this morning, more work on the flower beds (I’m getting to plant my seedlings!) and starting a quilt. Oh, and amongst all of that, I told DH I would get our taxes ready.🙄 Happy Monday-we’ve got 3 days left in this round!!!
3/16-DNW-DH walked in with dinner two nights ago: corned beef and cabbage and potatoes.We ate that for two days and then last night I had a big steak, just a lot of heavy food. Need to get the tax info rounded up.8 -

Day/Weight/Comment
3/8 174.4 This round, I really want to move more. Nothing fancy, just *something* on a daily basis. The weather is lovely and maybe I'll start with a walk to the mailbox.
3/9 174.4 Did not do any kind of exercise yesterday. Will try today.
3/10 174.4 Still holding steady. Still haven't fit in any exercise.
3/11 174.4 Okay...
3/12 174.4 My scale isn't broken—this is getting ridiculous. Walked around a bit at the farmers market, maybe that will make the scale budge?
3/13 174.4 Sigh...a little discouraging BUT I know I'm staying on track, so eventually maybe I'm in for a lower number!
3/14 173.0 Yay! Finally!!! After EIGHT days in a row at 174.4, I'm thrilled to see this. Even if it bounces up tomorrow, this tells me I'm trending downward.
3/15 174.0 Ha, it's okay. I know it'll settle out lower soon!
3/16 173.2 Last night was a fast food dinner, which is always weirdly great for me with respect to being accountable since the calories are so standardized: I know exactly what I'm getting in that cheeseburger (plus, I removed the bun—saved a few extra calories there!). Hoping to end this round with a one-pound loss.

up a little in weight this morning probably due to the larger dinner i ate last night. My husband cooked last night! Only happends once in a while so i took advantage and ate my fair share. Didn't get a workout in from eating too much and feeling sluggish but i did manage to clean/pick up the house. Tonight i will be packing for a trip but I am hoping to get a small workout in!

3/16-164.6 Haven't weighed in a while, kept forgetting in the morning. I was very surprised this morning especially because it's shark week! I haven't been counting my calories but really watching the amounts i am eating but also allowing myself i treat once in a while. I indulged in far too many sweets and beverages over the weekend but it looks like it didn't hurt me. I haven't worked out since last week but planning on getting a workout this evening.

Round # 47 for me!
SW: 371.6 (6000 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)
3/08 371.6 – 7161 steps. Yesterday was ok. Too much cheese but ok.
3/09 370.4 – 5154 steps.
3/10 370.4 – 7902 steps. Back on track! Did well at the office yesterday.
3/11 370.4 – 6071 steps. TGIF!
3/12 370.4 – 6286 steps. Holding steady…. I think this is the longest I have gone without a drop and have been under calories. If I am not going up is all that matters right now. The drop will come sooner or later, my mission is to maintain the course. I have a physical on March 28th and my goal is to be under 360 by that appointment. Not impossible for sure. I know what to do. Have a great weekend and stay safe!
3/13 370.4 – 7815 steps.
3/14 369.0 – 6616 steps. Finally! Saturday was an awesome day! I went to DR for a bone scan for osteoporosis and I had to weigh because there is a 400-pound weight maximum for the machine and even though I had on clothes and had eaten and water I still weighed in at 369.8 on their scale which my PCP will get. So, I was happy about that especially since scale was the same all week.
3/15 369.0 – 3545 steps. Rest day yesterday. At the office today. Great time at office. Quiet and easy going.
3/16 367.0 – 9076 steps.

Net change 2022 = SW 380.0 EW 371.6 (-8.4) Overall goal: 12-18 lbs.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. 11 -

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.
3/8- 186.6 NEW LOW! I spent a lot of time on my feet yesterday, so I was pleasantly surprised by this drop. 67 net carbs and step goal hit.
3/9- 185.6 I couldn’t be happier! I’m now comfortable saying I’ve broken my stall. 170s here I come! 85 net carbs, step goal hit, and Pelo ride done. Ready to make today amazing!
3/10- 184.8 47 net carbs and step goal hit. It’s so nice to sew downward movement again. I’m loving this!
3/11- 183.8 58 net carbs, steps hit, and Pelo ride done. Feeling really good this week!
3/12- 183.8 Seems the monthly hormonal shift is setting in. At least it seems more normal this time around than how it’s been during the stall! 73 net carbs and step goal hit. It’s snowing here today, so I’ll be spending some time in the kitchen making cheese. It’s the perfect snowy day activity!
3/13- 183.6 91 net carbs, step goal hit, and Pelo ride done. It’s a small step down, but it’s still a step down! I’ll be happy to hold right around here for the next week.
3/14- 183.6 67 net carbs and step goal hit. I’m okay with this number today.
3/15- 183.4 59 net carbs and step goal hit. I’m happy to be seeing even the slightest movement down this week, so this is great!
3/16- 182.6 Surprised by the drop but I’ll take it! 87 net carbs, steps hit, and Pelo ride done. DH has been sick for a week now, and I think I might be coming down with it too.10 -
My last round was very successful. I lost 4.2 pounds.
Goals: This round for me is all about getting and staying in the 250's (only 0.5 pounds away). I am 10.4 pounds away from my pre pregnancy weight (250). So, my next couple of rounds will be dedicated to getting to 250.
SW: 280
3/8 - 260.4 - 19.6 pounds down - I have been holding steady for the last few days and I am totally okay with that. With a hectic weekend that was really tough on my body and lack of sleep I really did not expect the scale to move. I'm just really happy that the scale isn't going up. 250 is so close I can taste it.
3/9 - 260.8 - 19.2 pounds down - This whole eat right and exercise is getting old. LOL. I feel like I am hitting a wall, but I'm still pushing. I'm still here.
3/10 - 260.8 - 19.2 pounds down - Finally got some good sleep yesterday. Went to bed nice and early. I will definitely be working out tonight.
3/11 - 260.0 - Down 20 pounds - I'm back baby! I worked out last night and it felt good. Got in more than enough rest. Ate well. I prepared my food in the morning and didn't dread it. I see you 250's. Come to mama!
3/12 - 259.6 - Down 20.4 pounds - yes, yes, yes! I worked for this. I earned it! First 20 pounds gone. 9.4 pounds away from my pre pregnancy weight. I’ve never been this consistent and I am proud of myself.
3/13 - 261.0 - Down 19 pounds - Did not have time to post on Sunday because nursing school clinicals are kicking my butt.
3/14 - 262.0 - Down 18 pounds - Perfect storm this weekend. I really under ate and it finally caught up with me. There's something about having to be up at 5 am for my 7 am clinical 2 days in a row that makes me not want to eat my usual oatmeal for breakfast. Then I ordered 2 footlongs from Subway for my dinner for Saturday and Sunday because I have no food in the house. Thank God I have no junk food because last night around midnight I was starving and all I could find was salad ingredients. I seriously went into the kitchen 3 times looking for food. I ate the salad. Very unsatisfying! I'm going grocery shopping and meal prepping today so I can get on track ASAP. I will be back in the 250's soon.
3/15 - 259.4 - Down 20.6 pounds - I'm back baby! Looks like I'm going to claim the 250's for the month of March. Woo-hoo! I ate both my meals outside the home yesterday, but I made really good choices. I woke up today and cooked a whole batch of chicken. Let me tell you I know chicken breast is all low fat/cal and preferred but chicken thighs is where it's at. So good.
3/16 - 258.6 - Down 21.4 pounds - I have been so hungry lately. I don't know what's up with that. Super surprised to see such a significant loss.
3/17 - My daughter turns 1 year old

No apologies necessary. MFP has changed with the new Corp Team. I have let a lot of things go that they never fixed for me -- my MFP ticker being one of them that pained me the most. If it is not a major problem they do not care.quiltingjaine wrote: »First, I apologize for my little “come apart” the other day.

I love this group and will continue for as long as I can. Thank you to those who talked me off the cliff and volunteered to take over. ❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘😘
I just keep it in perspective. It is basically free and they have us at their mercy. I just used another ticker and kept going.
Thanks again and keep on inspiring us my friend! I love you, MFP and all of the Pals I have met over the years! You all inspire me to never give up! And I have been in many groups on MFP that have been great and this one is great indeed and I am so glad I found it! I am going to stick with it this time, for better or for worse

3/8 / 172.6 / Dad is easy company to have in terms of the eating plan because he's diabetic now and watches what he eats. So, no external pressure coming from him to splurge! I have surpassed the 120 pounds lost mark now... less than 5 pounds to go until I hit normal BMI!!!!
3/9 / 171.2 / Did a soul crushingly difficult Power Zone ride on the Peloton this morning and a walk in the chilly temps at lunch. Supper out with coworkers tonight to celebrate birthdays. It's share plates so we'll see what I end up with!
3/10 / 170.6 / Share plate supper went well.. good variety and we didn't overeat. Off work today to spend time with my dad and brother. My husband is cooking a big rib dinner for company tonight but I've got my plan in place.
3/11 / 170.8 / I had intended to ride the Peloton today but I ended up busy with other things. Instead, I focused on getting my 10,000 steps which I don't often do. The weather is warming up again which is fantastic. Last weekend my Dad is here so we have some fun planned before he returns home on Monday!
3/12 / 169.8 / Touching my goal weight decade!! I am now less than 2 pounds away from my original goal weight target of 125 pounds lost. It's hard to believe some days!! Off to Banff with the family tonight for a special light show event on the mountain.
3/13 / 170.6 / Fabulous overnight in Banff. Walked into town and back from our hotel twice. Didn't overeat at the buffet. Nice memories with family.
3/14 / 171.8 / Got dad on his plane back home today. Feels quiet around the house. Both hubby and I feel tired from entertaining for 10 days. It was a great visit. Back to business as usual around here for the next two weeks but our weeks after that will be full of different things.
3/15 / 172.4 / Two Peloton rides within a 12 hour window - rode last night and then again this morning. Longer walk at lunch with the beautiful temperatures outside. Work is very stressful right now so I'm glad to have my well established habits to pull me through.
3/16 / 173.4 / Not feeling my best today - not run down from an exercise perspective, but just mentally and so on. No big concern - I had a nice walk at lunch with my husband and we're going to go enjoy some fresh air again here shortly. Time to give myself some mental rest.

3/17 - 151.6 - I'm guessing based on memory as my scale and app didn't sync. Again. Heavy dinner of steak, mashed potatoes, and green beans with mushrooms about 20 minutes before bed. I don't know why else my weight might be up so much. Lunch today is leftovers of all 3 and dinner tonight is fajitas. BF and kids got me strawberries, kiwi, and blueberries since I asked for fruit for breakfast this morning. Loaded up a little mini fruit salad (no dressing). Believe LittleBro had a smoothie made of what was left last night. At least I know fruit will be eaten in this house. It's my Friday but plan is I'm likely to take kids back to Oklahoma Saturday so tomorrow is errands day. At least I get to sleep in until normal people get up hah!
Previous Day's Comments3/08 - I was dead tired last night. Didn't eat snacks, just my chicken fajitas, roasted sweet potato, and pear (dessert). ALMOST enough water, but not quite. Adjustment period, still hit 1/2 bodyweight in oz which is my minimum goal. Definitely got some walking in, moreso than normal. Wasn't quite happy to realize when my alarm went off its only Tuesday and I can't sleep in until Friday, though haha! It's not the worst plant I could be at, for sure. Fairly quiet most times. Coming to end of life so it's also just a matter of keep it running until it's retirement date. Homemade chicken alfredo for dinner last night with leftovers for lunch along with my sweet half a sweet potato and a pear. Same snacks on hand if I need. Will focus a bit more on water today if possible.
3/09 - Must be cheese from smothered burritos last night. Have leftover stuff to make burrito for lunch but I may not smother it like last night. Got all my water in (replaced about 8oz of regular water with aloe juice because it makes me happy and changes things up a bit for me). All in all 82oz regular water which is still above minimum goal. Plenty of walking and movement compared to WFH. No dedicated workouts, though. I'll slowly seep those back into my schedule once I adjust a bit more. Sleep is still adjusting and no need to exhaust myself any further at this point.
3/10 - Bloating from, what I'm assuming, is cheese. I was burping up a storm yesterday and I'm sure that hasn't gotten completely out of my system yet haha! Last night was steak and rice and veggies so that's also today's lunch. Tomorrow I can sleep in. Saturday BF and BigBro go get LittleBro and Sis. They'll be back Monday as they're stopping at Papa's house to get BigBro's truck and tow it down here. We should be getting our new bed Monday, as well. Hoping this weekend I can get some stuff done around the house, particularly in what will be my garden.

3/13 - Sorry for the absences. Been busy trying to run all my errands. Yesterday BF and BigBro left to Oklahoma to get the other two kids (successfully) and spend time with his dad. The truck he was getting will not fit in the uhaul trailer, but he found another car for me to use for work instead. It was his grandpa's car (passed last summer) and this relative of his (he didn't say) needs to sell it for her vet bills. Gives him a chance to bring SOMETHING home that still benefits us. And, honestly, it puts a small financial strain on us right now (not near what it would otherwise be) but it saves us inflated used car prices since we were already looking at another vehicle for me to commute with which we were going to do in the next couple months anyway. PLUS it saves BigBro from having to pay crazy diesel prices to go to/from school with the initially intended truck and we can decide who uses what vehicle (impala vs corolla) to commute and me from having to pay extra to drive the jeep. Either way, BigBro gets a vehicle to commute and I simultaneously get one with better gas mileage until I can find another job. And even if I get a work from home job, the car can be saved for next year when SD (step daughter) is 16 and needs a vehicle around here. LittleBro is several years off from being of driving age so we can figure that out later. Lots of crazy things going on this weekend. Tomorrow I'm working from home so we can get our bed (someone has to be here for signature and setup) and BF/kids will be home tomorrow night. Then only 3 days of commuting (I'll use corolla while BF does registration stuff) since BigBro on spring break.
3/14 - DNP
3/15 - Everyone home safe last night. Yesterday was working from home, getting all the beds moved around and getting them ready while also receiving and setting up our new bed (just in time, SD didn't have a bed as we were using hers until ours arrived. Talk about timing. New bed = best sleep I've had in a long long long while.) Washing all the sheets and such. Whew. Back to commuting today but at least I have my car so gas mileage isn't so horrendous and my wallet doesn't hurt AS bad. As for weight.... TOM decided to come early and then I was short on water Friday and Saturday. Yesterday I got enough, but that's rehydration/TOM bloat/stress increases right there. Back to routine and arrival of TOM /should/ start a decrease in the next couple days. Not much else going on to report.
3/16 - Finally a little relief from bloating. Still got some belly bulge but I'm wondering if that's bloating at all. Possible, not convinced. I have work to do to get back on track. Last night we had taco Tuesday. Leftover spaghetti for lunch as BF (for the first time ever) didn't make enough for everyone AND have leftovers for lunch. Fam coming over for steaks tonight and to see kids, hopefully we will have enough for tomorrow's lunch as I'm out of spaghetti leftovers today. Fam's either Thursday or Friday night. BF has decided BigBro will drive Toto (the toyota) since he's used to it now and I'll get the "new" Impala. Haven't driven it yet so I'll have to figure out a nickname for it. Not much else to report.

3/8 😬 182.8 - gotta start somewhere
3/9 😑 181.2 - very pleased but this is what happens all the time. I’ll give it a few days to see if it sticks. Being mindful of my eating & am closing my circles
3/10 😐 180.4 - must say I’m pleased with todays weight. Keeping up with mindful eating & closing my circles. I’m going to try a Zumba YouTube video today 💃🏼
3/11 🙂 180.2 -I’ll take it! Zumba kicked my butt but was a blast!! Now I have to remember not to let the weekend be my weak end
3/12 🤨 180.8 - Grrrrrr! I was so sure I’d break the 3 month yo-yo & hit 179.9. Ate mindfully but couldn’t get my activity in as I tweaked a calf muscle after work. I have 5 more days to hit my goal!!! I WILL DO IT!
3/13 ⏰ 180.4 - Better than yesterday. Weekends are always hard for me but I am staying on track better than in the past. I’ll take that for a win!!
3/14 182.4 😩😠😩😠😩 I shouldn’t be surprised since this is my life the last 3 months! I haven’t eaten over my calories. I’ve closed my circles 6/7 days. I get sooooo discouraged when this happens. I’ll look back on my past week & see if anything jumps out at me. UGH!! I tried so hard this round 😞
3/15 DNW - just didn’t want to know. Tomorrow is a new day!! 🙂
3/16 180.8 🙂 That’s better. Continuing with mindful eating. Activity is on the light side as now my left toes hurt to bend -aka walking. WTH?? Weirdness. I will concentrate on hula hoop & yoga , stretching & arm weights.
3/17 ☘️ 181.2 🍀 story of my life up down up down up down but I will take it cuz it’s lower than my R180 starting weight 🙂
Looking forward to R181 where I WILL see 179.9!!!11 -
