4/27 ~ 179.4 - 14,700 and 80. Oh
4/28 ~ 180.0 - 17,300 and 116. I'm happy with this, ate a bit more yesterday as I've been dropping too fast of a rate. Feeling good though. Will get my walks in and plan on Turkey soup for dinner. Went to buy chicken thighs last night and they had turkey thighs at less then half the price!! Prices are crazy here and are changing all the time.
4/29 ~ 180.2 - 16,100 and 111. No worries I'm good with this, eating well and active. I may have to work Saturday or Sunday but will see if I can pull off a miracle today. Happy Friday!!
4/30 ~ 180.2 - 22,000 and 175. Pizza Day at work, just had one slice and my salad. Scale number is good. Got all my work done so I don’t need to go into work this weekend. Now just need to get outside in this horrible rain and get my walk in…. But first another cup of coffee. Have a great weekend !!
5/1 ~ 179.3 - 21,400 and 137. It’s finally May! 🌸 Forecast is still dreary but last year it was hot and dry and lots of forest fires so … I guess the rain is good ¿. Did a 10k early walk then some shopping and the sun poked out for the last few hours, felt marvellous! Another good walk today then meal prep my lunched for the next few days. I might think up some new goals for May.
5/2 ~ 179.4 - 21,600 and 144. Got a 13k walk in early, then a day of clean up, laundry and clean out the fridge. Got my lunches done and I'm ready for the week. May goals hit 1400 calories. Relax with a cup of tea (decaf) before bed and on weekdays do 2 walks a day lunch and after work.
5/3 ~ 179.4 - 18,400 and 131. Horrible sleep. Hit calories, tea and walks

Day/Weight/Comment
4/27: 134.9 - I find myself eating back all my exercise calories lately and the scale is holding steady. I’d like to go down a couple more pounds to be more in the middle of maintenance range. I know what needs to be done, but I think it is going to be tough this round since my family is visiting us for a week.
4/28: 133.6 - Ate all of my calories, workout was later in the afternoon and so-so sleep.
4/29: 134.9 - Drinks and dinner with extended family and friends. Definitely ate beyond full…
4/30: 135.6 - Yikes! Good workouts yesterday, but sitting around with friends with lots of nibbles, pizzas, cookies, champagne, etc wasn’t good for the calorie budget.
5/1: 136.0 - Biked across the Golden Gate Bridge, lots of walking around SF, but dinner and dessert was very high calorie. Vacation over though and now can settle back into a somewhat normal routine.
5/2: 135.4 - Had a nice regular day with my regular workouts, eating and sleep. Hoping to get back into my maintenance range before heading out backpacking on Friday.

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.

SW RND 185 118.5
4/27 118.5 GKI 10.3 Late dinner at Great Greek - OMAD at 6PM - not my preferred time.
4/28 118.5 GKI 17.8 Two fun size Twix at meeting yesterday afternoon. 🤦♀️ Those haven’t affected my weight (yet?) but that up-shoot in my GKI isn’t good my other eating for the day was almost no carbs - meat, cheese, green beans, salad. I guess that’s why it’s so important for diabetics (which I’m not) and pre-diabetics to carefully watch what they eat. Just trying to stay healthy here.
4/29 119.5 GKI 18.8 Not happy about those numbers but attended first Social and Dance Club play/dinner so lots of carbs. I shall overcome. The play was really great. Over 100 people in the social hall which I believe was at its limit.
4/30 120.5 GKI 12.1 Weight up as expected. Uncertain eating today. Going to quilt shops with the ladies and stock car races with DH this evening.
5/1 120.0 GKI 12.3 Brunch Burger minus bun for lunch at 2, (burger, cheddar, ham, bacon, egg) did eat a few fries. Nothing after 2. Light on water.
5/2 120.5 GKI 12.7 Great Greek salad with steak. 1/4 pita, 1/2 Granny Smith apple with 2T natural peanut butter(!!!!)
5/3 120.0 GKI 6.2 26 hour fast followed by OMAD - steak, tomato, mayo and wine.

Day/Weight/Comment
b]4/27 370.0[/b]
4/28 369.0 – Yesterday I got in my steps because I went into the office and went to a religious service, so I was moving a lot. I did not log food, but I was mindful of what I was eating.
4/29 369.0
4/30 369.0 – Went into the office yesterday. Not my normal day. I had the munchies but still was within my calories because I ate back too many calories. Tomorrow going to a Vietnamese/Thai/French restaurant. I already told my friend who likes to order a bunch of appetizers I am not ordering any. I know how she is, and it will be 3 of us so this will keep me from having any of theirs. I will not look at menu at the restaurant. I will already have decided what I am eating and order without a menu and order first. I will have a fruit before going in and have some hard candy so I am not tempted when they offer me some of the appetizers. Today going to eat on plan. Goal not to gain this weekend. Get in a good workout today and maybe tomorrow.
5/01 369.0
5/02 367.8 – We had a wonderful time yesterday at restaurant yesterday. I had spicy rice noodles with chicken and shrimp, 2 small spring rolls, and the 3 of us shared a chocolate Godiva dessert that was so delicious. Back to business today. I may gain tomorrow, time will tell. I did not work out over the weekend, but I did eat ok. Very light breakfast yesterday so I could eat mindfully at dinner.
5/03 367.8 – Went into the office yesterday and got my steps in. wore new compression socks all day. I must discipline myself to wear them. It was an ok day. I did not drink enough water, but happy I maintained my loss from weekend.

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!!

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.

4/27 Did not post
4/28 Finally starting to feel better. I was able to work a full day of work yesterday and plan to have a full day today as well. I went for a walk yesterday morning and went for a very short one this morning because I was chilly. So, things are looking up!
4/29 did not post

5/2 Didn’t post the last few days because there wasn’t too much going on besides just resting on the couch for most of the weekend. I went back to the gym for the first time in 13 days and it felt really good. I took it easy but was still able to complete most of my workout. I ended up using lower weights to make it a little easier and then skipped the cardio at the end. Tomorrow I plan on doing a short slow run to ease back into it. I was reading that when you start back after covid it’s best to do 50% of what you did prior for a week and then the next week you can do 60-70% and then 80-90% and then 100% with it taking about a month to get back to where you were. Things are definitely looking up and I was definitely less fatigued today, which was great. Now, I’m off to bed. Have a good night!
5/3 checking in from mobile. Cardio went well this morning. I did 10 minutes of walking and 22ish minutes of running at 5 mph. Food also went well today. My appetite for healthier foods is coming back and I actually have the energy to do some cooking. My energy during work has also been strong, so I’m happy about that too!9 -
I’m back at it, trying to get on track.

Day/Weight/Comment
4/27 / 166.4 / Found motivation was low yesterday but I still got on the Peloton for a slightly shorter ride. Still adjusting to the new schedule of being back in the office 3 days a week. Had a nice lunch out with coworkers today. The weather is so pleasant! Looking forward to a walk and Peloton ride tonight.
4/28 / 166 / Got my walk and Peloton ride done last night and we had a delicious salmon dinner too. Today is the last day in the office for the week so it feels like a mini Friday!
4/29 / 167.2 / Last night was a rest night with my husband so we watched some Netflix and he brought home cake to celebrate a promotion he got at work. Thankful my Garmin syncing is working properly again after the recent issues. After work today we head out to open up our trailer at the lake.. so exciting!
4/30 / 165.4 / Started yesterday with a hard Peloton ride, got through my work from home day, and then my husband and I came out to our trailer at the lake to set it up. The camping season has officially begun! Woo hoo.
5/1 / 165.8 / Happy May! My husband and I have been enjoying our first weekend at the trailer. Lake season is such a nice time of the year. We brought light weights to do mini strength sessions and got two walks in yesterday.
5/2 / 165.6 / Completed my first ever 90 minute Peloton class yesterday after we got home from the trailer. Also picked up my resized wedding rings and got a few new clothes for work that fit properly. Work from home day today.
5/3 / 167 / Busy day at work today going through a leadership summit. I managed to fit in a walk on my break. That made surpassing my 10,000 steps by the end of the day much easier. Did a 30 minute Peloton ride this evening.

Round 185 ( my 117th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
It's just a day short of 3 weeks to DS wedding, I feel back on track, could I possibly lose another 3 pound by then? That's a pound a week or 1.5 pound per round. Only if I don't mess things up! Need to lose again this round, just lose!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.

5/04 - 151.5 - Definitely expected to have maintained or been close to yesterday's weight having a smothered burrito last night. It was a small portion, though. I was over calories by 172 but still under maintenance. Breakfast was a tad higher as one of the ladies at work made a sausage biscuit sandwich (no cheese or egg as she didn't have enough and I didn't need those extra calories). It was a much needed mid-morning boost to hold my lunch out later so I wasn't absolutely starving by dinner. Not so lucky today, but replenished my protein powder and have salmon packets if a snack is needed. Not sure dinner, but I should have more than enough calories to accommodate. Breakfast is my usual peanut butter banana baked oatmeal and lunch is once again an air fried chicken thigh with cheesy broccoli. Water was good yesterday and I remembered to bring my loose leaf tea to work (it's so cold in this office! Like 60-65 degrees F) so I should be more than good on water today chugging down herbal teas. Also picked some fresh peppermint from my garden to add to the tea and liven myself up mid afternoon. Now to keep this up!

Previous Day's Comments4/27 - Coming back down, finally. Calories were over by 162, but that's still below maintenance so I can't complain too much. Granted, my Fitbit doesn't seem to want to sync automatically anymore and I have no movement from yesterday to potentially offset my eating. Setting that up again now. Dinner was pseudo-chili. Last minute thrown together dinner with what we had available in the house. With it, came corn muffins (BF makes the best, I swear). That's lunch today. I have another bagel egg cheese sandwich for breakfast because I completely blanked on pulling out the english muffins from the freezer and I realized today was shower morning so breakfast had to be made the night before. BUT!!! I did remember while eating dinner to pull out the english muffins for tomorrow's breakfast, whether I make it tonight or in the morning, I'm set up. Hoping today I can find excuses to get moving, even just a little.
4/28 - 18 calories over yesterday. I'm becoming more and more convinced that it will be nearly impossible for me to lose weight while working this job given my hours and commute. I can walk 10,000 steps, eat 1400 calories or less a day (and I lost weight prior to commuting on 1600-1800 so it's not likely that I need anything lower, I simply lowered due to being a bit more sedentary), and eat all healthy food and yet I gain or maintain. Based on the mirror, my belly is what is getting bigger which likely means visceral fat. I've done the research and all I can find is "get more sleep" but that is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE unless I manage to find a way to sleep and drive without killing myself or others. Or I quit my job and lose my house/truck/car/phone/everything. Sorry, I'm ranting but I'm so completely and utterly lost. Appointment with the dietician tomorrow and I'm going to bring all this up to her. I'm at my wits end. Still trying to get back into fasting (which the dietician is starkly against, don't know why...). If anybody has any advice on losing weight when chained to a desk 10 hours a day with a 3-4 hour daily commute and getting AT MOST 6.25 hours of sleep, I'd be BEYOND appreciative. I feel so unhealthy, fat, disgusting, and all the bad things. I miss feeling good and it's really getting to me mentally.

5/02 - I didn't sleep well. Late to bed, woke up a TON and then ended up waking up at 1:27am and couldn't fall back asleep. I'm running on empty and it's not even 6am here. Hopefully I'll get some decent sleep tonight. Rather shocked my weight wasn't up more this morning. Hopefully I can maintain that through the week and maybe drop some. Guess it'll depend on sleep and therefore hunger levels. I do have my protein shakes and my salmon packets to fill me up for not a lot of calories JUUUUUUUST in case it gets out of hand. I made peanut butter banana baked oatmeal and it tastes like banana bread, just less sweet! That's my breakfast for the next 2 weeks as the recipe made 9 servings (4 for this week, 4 next week, and my tester after baking). Bonus: its less calories than my overnight oats by almost 200. That'll give me a little more wiggle room for lunch and dinner! Today will be a focus on water and simply staying awake.
5/03 - Not a good day food wise, but water was on point. I was super hungry and started getting lightheaded so I had to grab extra food. I didn't even bother to track it. BF had to run some errands and wasn't home before I went to bed last night. He thawed some chicken thighs so I tossed those in to the air fryer and got some steamable cheesy broccoli for sides for lunch. I have today's and tomorrow's lunch prepped and had the last of the mac&cheese and jalapeno pepper with my thigh last night. Tonight's plan is steak&bean smothered burritos (works out as BigBro usually gets a second serving and there's not enough leftover for lunch. I have lunch already made so he can eat ALL of it with no worries). Boys got home about 45 minutes after I went to bed and the dog gave me a mini heart attack. I had dozed off and didn't hear them come in until she went bark-crazy in bed next to me. Oof. Took a long while until my heart rate went back to normal hahah! Still more sleep than Monday night and I feel a little more alive today. Hopefully I can keep hunger levels down. Off to a better start than yesterday by not being absolutely starving by the time I got to work. Coffee up next which will help with suppressing appetite a bit.

70 year old woman, coasting along not accomplishing much until the last couple of months and all I'm doing is gaining, I'm too close to the "250 lbs." on the scale that I said I would never use again!
Goal Weight: 190 lbs. (to start)
