You need to bookmark it by touching the badge looking thing in the upper right corner. It will turn blue. Then you can find it again easily.1 -
Glad to be back and Thank you @baconslave for this thread. Great support here!
Mary from Pennsylvania 65 now, Heaviest weight 255 lbs twice. :-(
UGW-122 lbs. I was there in 2009/10 and kept it off for 5 years then got lazy.
My goal is to continue with what seems to work for me. 1000-1200 calories, low carb 15 Net +/- 3(My body seems to not do well with carbs. It doesn't know how to burn them and hangs onto them way too much!), minimum 70 + oz of water, 2 meals/day on my days off(3) and 3 meals on my work days(which are long), exercise on my 3 days off. For challenges my official weigh in day is Sunday. I weigh daily.
9/14/20 SW-255 lbs
5/3/21-240.5 lbs Emergency Gallbladder surgery
5/14/21-232.2 lbs started MFP and Low Carb/1000-1200 calorie while recovering
6/1/21-228.8 lbs
7/1/21-222.2 lbs
8/1/21-212.0 lbs
9/1/21-200.0 lbs
10/1/21-191.4 lbs
11/1/21-181.8 lbs
12/1/21-176.2 lbs
1/1/22-168 lbs
2/1/22-157.4 lbs
3/1/22-155 lbs 100 lbs lost of 133 lb goal
4/1/22-156.4 lbs (Lowest weight 4/6 & 4/7-147.6 lbs)
5/1/22-158.8 lbs
6/1/22-152.2 lbs
6/5/22-158 lbs Too many carbs last 2 days and sure it's water retention with them too. (Why do carbs have to be so tasty and addictive?) Did my Elliptical today, 167 minutes for 13.11 miles. My plan was to do another session later today but now my motivation is gone. Probably why I am better at long first sessions. I did add "girl" pushups, planks and just hanging from my son's pull up bar. To increase my strength. Not that I'm weak. (I'm a nurse and I pull even big guys up in beds for a living!) But I can always get stronger. Build up my muscle mass to burn more calories and fill out the flabby loose skin!

Still here too! Happy to say that am back in my low carb groove and already feel the inflammation and jo8nt pain lessening. While I need weight loss too that is such a huge nsv for me………onwards and downwards for us all 😀3

30 minutes of activity every day-hiking, kayaking and more hiking

Today's specific goal-Make an oil change appointment
Will weigh in tomorrow.2 -
Starting the week off at 154.8 lbs. This whole year I have managed to lose just over 3 lbs. Though not excited I will take it. Planning on this month to be the month where I see great results. This week I will focus on getting my carbs down to 15% of diet. Still trying to recover from Memorial weekend. Why is it so hard to get back on track??4

scale still dumb.

I’m late joining as I wasn’t sure I could to commit to anything this month.
I found out I was being made redundant just a few weeks ago and then the week before last they told me my end date would be 31st May. Luckily, because they brought my end date forward they have to pay me in lieu of notice so I now have both redundancy pay and notice pay to keep me going for a few months. So I now have time to find something new. It means I can still have some time to focus on other things while I search for a new job. Phew.
So my goal this month is to keep exercising five days a week and make sure I get out for a walk at least once a week. I just had my annual checkup with the nurse at my doctor’s practice and she’s very happy with my weight and blood pressure. She wants me to focus more on strength and weights for my exercise as she says that’s more important at my age than the cardio. So at least three days a week will be strength and light weights.
I did a lovely long walk at the weekend, we discovered a little green belt that goes through our area and into nearby areas and it has nice paths to walk through, we didn’t realise that it carried on so far. So we spent two hours walking down to the next area and back. Today I did a 20 minute leg and arm workout, not as long as I would ideally be doing but I was feeling a bit tired today.5 -
Yesterday carbs were at 19%, was shooting for 15%. Pretty pleased because for the past week I have been around 30% carbs. Just need to get it down a little bit more.5
-
Goals:
Log food & water everyday.
Watch carb intake
Get more steps where I can
Make healthy swaps
Get more rest
Reduce stress and be more active4 -
I did a half hour workout yesterday. I’ve got a couple of second job interviews tomorrow from a couple I did yesterday. So today I won’t be exercising, don’t want to risk straining anything!5
-
well back down to 169.8 but that's not my lowest since Jan! I'll take what I can get. Hopefully more will slip off soon and I can make progress again.5
-
Pretty pleased with June so far! Coming to this thread definitely helps. Water intake is much better after a really long struggle, pain in joints is already lower and just weighed in to find a great scale victory too…..mind you I have a loooong way to go so it will be fast at first. Thanks to everyone for posting,really good to keep me motivated. My best wishes to you all in your own struggles and goals 🤝4

For 6/6-6/9
30 minutes of activity every day-Strength class, gardening on Tuesday enough for 3 days.
Something fun every day-Camping prep, volunteer work at a summer camp, hosted a girls happy hour and one of my sons came for dinner. It's been a good week.
Today's specific goal-complete my self imposed work deadline
Monday weigh in was 165.5, not bad for after camping and a picnic.4 -

Two-tenths of a lb at a time.

Another good day of choices of eating. When will that scale move?3

Thanx Swimmom! Blood sugars are trending downward for the first time in, you guessed it! Nearly three years! Need to up my walking days from haphazard to routine…baby steps.2

My job interviews went really well yesterday. Got in a lot of walking around London between the two so that was my exercise for yesterday. I was offered both jobs and accepted one. It’s office based which wasn’t what I was initially looking for as I’ve been working from home but it’s a really good job and decided to take the chance on it. It’s also an hour journey into central London so I’m hoping I’ll still feel up to exercising after work. I’ll have to see how I feel, I start on Tuesday.5
-
Melmerritt - Congrats on both interviews, and Good Luck on Tuesday! Haven’t found my rhythm, yet, meaning: 240 cals, and 10 Carbs too many. No after-dinner snax for me tonight!2
-
I feel as if I’ve been walkind sideways, all day.2
-
Lemon Festival in our town this past weekend. Weekend was not good w/food choices. Ate ate and ate. - All the wrong foods. By Sunday night not feeling so good. When will I learn my lesson?
Monday morning I am off to a good start!2
