• In Maintenance since July 2019
• Smart BMI - optimal weight.
• Muscle/Fat %ages in normal rangeJust 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!😷
March 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.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

3/8- 206.6 - there is the Saturday weight. I expect a drop tomorrow since I have been active and under calories every day since my cheat day Saturday

3/14- 205.6 - had a few bad days but I’m back at it today. I normally quit after a few weeks so I’m happy to feel the motivation to continue.. and my bad days weren’t anything bad compared to pre-dieting so I’ll take that as a win!!
3/15- 205- had a great day. I’m off till Monday so hoping I can be smart. Still waiting on the hubby to fix my elliptical 🤣
3/16- 202.4- not sure how accurate this is but I felt really good this morning and ‘lighter’ if that makes sense
3/17-201.6 - had a great round but I’m going out for March madness and at patty’s day so this won’t last

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

Glad for a clean slate with this new 10-day. Going to try to quit cheating on you all. (don’t take it personally Ha!) If you are going to give me ten days, I want to be a better steward of them.
3/9: 212.8
This is an odd up-tick. Yesterday was below calories without eating back any of my big exercise calorie burn. Oh well, the body does what it does.
3/10: 214.4
OK. I have this figured out, at least partially. I have had a lot of input since Sunday, but no output to speak of. TMI
My food and exercise have been good. Obviously, my diet is missing some key elements.

I am starting to wonder if my scale somehow got jostled or whatever on my Holiday trip away. Before Christmas, I was consistently averaging in the 207-208 range. Now it is the 213-214 range without a big difference in my daily life. Of course, I earned the 5 pound bump over the holiday, but I usually recover from bumps.
Or, maybe I should quit blaming the scale and figure out what the real problem is. 😊
3/16: 213.2
This should have been way lower today.

I am still in the saddle.

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.
3/17- 183.0 I’m okay with this. Still working my way through the hormonal shift, so all is good. 37 net carbs and step goal hit. Pretty darn happy with the results this round!

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.

💗 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.
3/17 - 180.2, running average 179.9
☘️🇮🇪 Slainte! Happy St. Pat’s. So, my uptick is entirely my own doing, as my calorie average is above maintenance. No excuses. Onward!Goal for 2022-2023 Progress

Previous days3/17 122.2 Pre workout 120.6 post workout. My legs are a bit sore from my new routine yesterday. I ran about 5.5 miles on the treadmill this morning which also helped loosen up my sore muscles. I can’t wait for it to be light out in the early morning hours again. Food was good yesterday and today should be another good day food wise. I’m looking forward to making corned beef and cabbage tonight for dinner and making a healthy “shamrock shake” to go with my lunch today. Work is starting to pick up again which is nice because it results in me eating out of boredom less/thinking about my next meal.
3/8 122 Happy to see this stick for another day in a row. I’m hoping to be down another pound by the end of this round or at least less than 122. Ran outside for the first time in over month this morning and it felt really good. I got 5.73 miles done in a nice steady 62 minutes. I didn’t want to push it too much because I have my 5 mile race coming up on Sunday. Planning to do strength tomorrow morning with cardio intervals afterwards. Had oatbran hot cereal again for breakfast with strawberries and a little of my protein drink added to it. I’m loving it right now and it’s so filling! Lunch will be turkey chorizo tacos and dinner will be chicken thighs with acorn squash. Happy Tuesday everyone!
3/9 122.8 Woke up with my watch feeling tighter this morning which also translated on the scale with the bump up too. Did my strength workout this morning and it felt good. I went up in my split squat another 10 pounds and my single leg Romanian dumbbell deadlifts bumped up from 25lbs in each hand to 27.5lbs. I’m enjoying the strength training a lot because it makes me care a little less about the water weight fluctuations because I know at least I’m getting stronger and the weight will slowly melt off in time.
Breakfast: oat bran hot cereal with protein shake and sliced strawberries. Lunch: leftover turkey chorizo tacos, Dinner: roasted chicken thighs with potatoes or carrots.
3/10 122.4 Did some cardio on the bike and elliptical this morning and planning to do a slow run this afternoon. I’m going out to dinner tonight for Thai with a colleague/mentor to catch up on life and I’m really looking forward to it. I’m planning to get their grilled marinated chicken with veggies, sticky rice and peanut sauce. Yumm!
Breakfast was the hot oat bran cereal with strawberries and some protein shake stirred into it plus the extra on the side. Lunch with be fiber gourmet crackers, kohlrabi, bell peppers and a cup of plain Skyr turned into a dip with some onion and garlic seasoning.
Happy Thursday!
3/11 123.4 preworkout 121.6 post workout. Got an hour of cardio in this morning on the elliptical and I’m going to take a rest day tomorrow to prepare for my 5 mile race on Sunday. Dinner last was fun and I didn’t over indulge too much. I ate half my meal and got Thai purple rice pudding for dessert. I felt a bit of water retention this morning but the cardio helped a lot with that as you can see the weight difference from pre and post workout. I had my usual oat bran hot cereal for breakfast, lunch was the Thai grilled chicken with broccoli and sticky rice and dinner will most likely be Trader Joes Paneer Tikka Masala. Happy Friday everyone!
3/12 Did not post or weigh.
3/13 Forgot to weigh. Completed my 5 mile road race today and beat my goal time I had set for myself, so I was super happy. I completed it in 43:56 which was 1:04 faster than goal. 😊 The race went well but the start was really chilly with a “real” feel of the low teens. Then afterwards my friend and I went out for brunch and I got two nice sized pancakes and had a slice of her breakfast pizza. Yumm! I’m not sure what dinner will be tonight but I’m looking forward to something a little lighter. Next on the race agenda will be a 10k in September in Salem, MA. 10k is definitely my max distance for races though. The 2 half marathons I did in the past were just too much on my body. I hope everyone has a good start to their week!
3/14 122.6 My body feels good today even after the intense run yesterday but I’m just really tired because I didn’t sleep well. I ended up going to the gym today and doing strength but instead of intervals afterwards I took it easy with the elliptical and kept my heart rate at an “easy run” blue level on my garmin watch for a half an hour. I hope everyone is adjusting okay with the clocks changing yesterday. I know it takes me a while to adjust.
3/15 122.6 Went to the gym this morning and ran 5ish miles on the treadmill which felt good after my Sunday race. Food was a bit over yesterday but didn’t feel excessive. This morning I made my oat bran hot cereal and normally I would have fruit with it but I was so full after the cereal that I put the orange back in the fridge to have later. I highly recommend oat bran cereal if you want to mix up your oatmeal game. I’m looking forward to Saturday because I’m going to one of my friend’s house to hang out and make apple sauce (I have an abundance of apples again). I haven’t seen her in person in almost a year, so it should be really fun to catch up!
3/16 121.6 Slowly but surely dropping back down. 😊 Did strength today at the gym and followed it with 18 minutes on the rowing machine. I’m excited because I bought a planner from personalplanner.com and they sent me an email that it shipped! I decided I needed one because I like writing out my day better than using my outlook calendar. I just feel less stressed when my to-do’s are written down on paper and then I can cross them off. I don’t know why it’s more satisfying than checking it off on a screen but it just is for me. Food was solid yesterday and last night I made a roasted chicken that was heavenly. I always forget how yummy a simple roasted chicken can be. I had pressure cooked beets and carrots with it for a side plus gravy made from the giblets(used them to make the stock for the gravy) and a couple teaspoons of the drippings for some richness. Tonight will be leftovers or pasta, haven’t decided which one I want because I might use leftover chicken for lunch as a quesadilla. Tough decisions…
I'm content with my results this round even if I technically went up .2 lbs. In reality, I know that it's just a water weight fluctuation.

3/11: 198.2 (+6.0) It was a whirlwind trip to Dallas, meeting up with several of my fellow artists to take an assemblage class. We had a wonderful time, drank lots of wine and a very salty margarita. I learned so much in the class and spent most days sitting working on my sculpture. It’s not done yet, but I love it. I’m guessing the salt played a big role in this gain, but it will work its way off over the next week and then I’ll be ready to get to a new low. Worth every calorie, laugh, chocolate and splatter of paint.
3/12: 197.4 (+5.2) I got home and spent some time with my eighteen year old cat, Bubba. He’s been struggling lately and I knew the time would come. A friend stayed with him at the house while I was out of town and he was so excited to see me. Later in the evening, he took a turn for the worse and it was time. I think he waited for me. So, I’m giving myself some grace and time. I’m going to miss that little guy. He was an amazing cat and had a long adventurous life. Tomorrow is the day I’m going to get back on track and back in my routine.
3/13: 197.8 (+5.6) Back on track today. My sister and I are going to take a long walk with the dogs. I’m hoping to be moving back down by the end of this challenge, although I don’t anticipate a new low weight.
3/14: 197.6 (+5.4) Yesterday was a good day and the weight should start dropping off this week. Tomorrow, I’ll get back to the pool after a week and a half away. Slowly, but surely…
3/15: 196.6 (+4.4) Finally dropping back down. It’s good to get back in the rhythm. I’m meeting several people for lunch this week. That’s going to present a bit of a challenge. I just need to stay focused.
3/16: 194.2 (+2.0) Phew! A bit relieved. I swam yesterday but did eat over my calories a bit when I met a friend for lunch. I need to get back to my exercise routine. Last week, at my art class, didn’t hardly move at all. I’m looking forward to a new low weight next challenge.
3/17: 191.4 (-.8) Wow! I haven’t had a whoosh like this for a long time. What a relief! This happened even after eating out a few times. I’ve been a bit over calories, but being careful still. What a great way to end this round.

03/08: 184.4 lbs (-0.0)
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)
Meh, at least it's not up.
03/17: 183 lbs (-1.8)
Sweet relief. Good activity and food yesterday. Glad I could finish off the round exactly at my goal. See you all in 181!

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 …..199.8 ….. (Trend weight 198.1) No change in diet = no change on scale. I ended up taking my new tenant (from my brother’s cabin) out to dinner, which meant restaurant food, yet again. He is a young man on the Autism spectrum (like my son) who is venturing out on his own for the first time. He wanted a meeting to set the ground rules and to “adult”. His parents live on the same street so this could work well. It was hard to rent out this house that I had rented to my brother for so many years before his death. Today will be that leftover Chinese I didn’t get to. Not a good round for me 1.8 gained. I will have to make a bigger difference in my changes next round.
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.
3/17 ☘️ ~ 194.4 - 11,500 and 75. Dinner out to celebrate figuring out my email password! (Also SO is headed out for work) Over target calories a great steak with scallops and lots of salt but that'll be ok. I can watch how that'll all processes 'cause I didn't gain 1.6 lbs of fat in one day or over eat by 5200 calories. Happy St. Patrick's Day!! .... I may celebrate with a Guinness!!8 -
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.
3/17 367.0 – 5470 steps. Well I am happy with loss for sure after gaining last round. Goal next round is to lose rest of regain. For those who did not lose weight, never give up and please stick with the challenge! If you maintained, you did something right! Congrats to everyone who lost weight! See you all next round!!

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. 12 -

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 the house has gotten WAY too loud lately. Meals are planned and logged for today.
3/17 245.8 Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I see many of you also tracking your trend weight so I downloaded the HappyScale app and input all of my weigh-ins since January. I can see where that will be helpful for me during stalls/plateaus. Also happy for a new low today! Meals are planned and logged. See you next round!

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.
3/17: 137.6 - I’m surprised and happy about the 2 pound loss this round. I’m 2.6 pounds away from goal weight and had thought that weight loss slowed significantly the closer you got to goal weight. I have been eating more and more of my exercise calories back this past, so will see how this plays out the next round.
Total round weight loss/gain to date from EO last round: - 2.0 pounds11 -

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.
3/17-171-Ugh! Rough day knowing I had to work on our taxes all day; I made it worth my while and had ice cream and all kinds of stuff I shouldn’t have. Made chicken for dinner, after browning it, added chicken broth, wine and lots of rosemary and cooked it for a long time. Today will be better.10 -

3/12: 313.3 but weighed at a weird time - having a lot of chronic pain today and was only able to do half a workout video but it felt good to move!
3/13: 310.7
3/14: 310 Happy Pi day! I was going to splurge on pie from the corner store but my knees won't let me walk there. Oh well! I hope the downward trend continues! Did schoolwork for most of the day but the week's work is done. Also got in a chair cardio workout since I can't be on my knee for long periods of time.
3/15: 309 - not feeling the greatest but determined to get a workout in today. Got my classwork for the week done yesterday and going to get a leg up on next week's work today hopefully after my workout.
3/16 - 308.1 losing weight quite rapidly now. not sure how I feel about that. I'm sure that it's got something to do with my autoimmune condition so I'm looking forward to starting treatment for that. Got a small workout in yesterday, and didn't eat like complete garbage, so I'm counting yesterday as a win!
3/17 ☘️310.8 the weight gain probably has something to do with the diet coke and ice cream sandwich I had yesterday - back at clean eating today! At least I hit my round goal weight!

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! 😁
3/17 ☘️ 119.0 I had forgotten about community bingo/dinner last night but we ate keto chicken cordon bleu at noon. So yummy. I’m making fried eggplant today - maybe eggplant parm with meat sauce?10 -

Round 180 ( my 112th 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, but a pound would be nice, concentrate on good food choices & think before I put anything in my mouth!! Also eat only half daily exercise calories back.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.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/8 138.4 – 14.19 miles walked, just a quarter of exercise calories eaten back. A good solid start yesterday, need to keep it up. Feeling happier with my actions.
3/9 137.8 – tentatively being pleased with this, if I can maintain this to the end of the round I will be well pleased ! But not relaxing! 9 miles walked yesterday, less than 50% of exercise calories eaten back, but carbs 60g over; lunch at DS's whilst helping her with wallpapering.
3/10 138.8 – are the scales playing with me? 10.56 miles, just over half calories eaten back, all macros in credit.
3/11 140 – 4.62 miles, met with DD & little DGS, went out to lunch.
3/12 138.8 - 6.82 miles, had to cut it short cuz of rain?. Away in our caravan for the weekend, more motivated this week; hence brought scales with me. Pleased to see the "disagree" button has disappeared, I think it was totally unnecessary and down hearting. Have a good weekend everyone.
3/13 137.4 - 14.78 miles walked yesterday, all but 87 calories eaten back.
3/14 137.4 - 10.42 miles walked, all but 84 of exercise calories eaten back.
3/15 137.4 – 10.52 miles. Happy to be consolidating at this weight for a few days before hopefully moving down again. Only just over 100 exercise calories eaten back.
3/16 137.4 - 8 miles walked.
Have you ever had an argument with yourself? I so wanted some chocolate, but I know if I start I can't stop !! So there I am standing by the 'fridge, “I'll just have one chocolate bar” “no, it won't stop there” “just one” “ no !! you won't be able to stop!!!! “ “just one” “NO” --- I finally shut the 'fridge door and I beat the demon – no chocolate passed my lips & boy, did it feel good to be in control!!! Just a tenth of exercise calories eaten back, which stands me in good stead for the afternoon tea canal cruise with a friend today; I'll be happy if I return this weight tomorrow.
3/17 ☘️ 137 – 8.86 miles walked before meeting with friend for afternoon tea, used all my exercise calories plus. Pleased with 2.4 pound loss this round, sounds good, but I had been gaining over last few rounds.
KEEP SAFE EVERYONE. Keep calm – Covid is still out there despite lifting of practically all restrictions, take care, remain vigilant we're still in this together!

Day/Weight/Comment
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 / 172.8 / Officially sick. Boo! Time for rest. See you in the next round.7 -

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.
3/17 ☘️ 173.3 I'm happy! About 1 lb lost this round.
R 178 loss: (-1.2 lbs)
R 179 loss: (-3 lbs)
R 180 loss: (-1.1 lbs)
Loss to date: 5.3 lbs6 -
Thank you, @quiltingjaine !
72 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...

Day/Weight/Comment
3/8 208.0. We’ve been traveling a lot the last two weeks. I basically skipped the last round. Back in the game again today. I started a new low impact workout this morning Lucy Wyndham Reed’s 14 minute two week workout.
3/9 209.4 Well I don’t know what happened here, very disappointing. I did do my workout this morning. Will keep trying.
3/10 209 Better weight today, still way up. Workout #3.
3/11 211.2 Whoa!! Went out to eat for my daughter’s birthday last night and apparently way overdid it. Workout #4.
3/12 210.8 workout #5
3/13 209.8 #6 Finally going in the right direction.
3/14 209.6
3/15
3/16
