We, in this group, are here to support you in any way we can. I’ve realized that our stressors can change over time and sometimes sharing is a huge help. We love and need each other!8 -

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 almost 5 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

@JbeanR0212 He's pretty healthy just not as good at hills then I am. He works out of town, but when he is home he goes with me on walks that he doesn't want me to do alone, as I love hiking and walking (He's very supportive!) He works all the time, away from home, long hours and hard laborious projects. I don't think he sees the need or the time to get in any extra cardio.

Net change 2022 = SW 380.0 EW 367.6 (-12.4) Overall goal: 26-39 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 Outpatient 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 gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and 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 every day. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Every day 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.

SW: 214.8
Day/Weight/Comment
6/6 214.4 I am glad to see another weight loss. This morning I did gardening. I also prepped alot of fruits and veggies to eat throughout the week which is new but something I think will be helpful. Nervous about the upcoming two days because I am going to be working night shift which is going to be throwing things out of whack.
6/7 213.6 Very happy with another loss. Not sure what I am doing today really. I am working starting at 11pm so sleeping mostly today. The real challenge will be when it is past midnight and I would typically eat alot to keep myself awake during the shift. I can't really do that to stay on track. I do have some healthy things I am bringing.
6/8 I worked night shift and some other of the staff brought in chips and dip and doritos all which I love but I did not have any of it and I had my prepared food from home!

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.

Awe thanks @musicsax. I live in the US and while our society becomes more accepting and open to mental health I have to say we still have a long ways to go. I am part of a support group but at times I feel it does more to trigger me than help. I appreciate the understanding, just needed to vent a little.
@JbeanR0212 - Welcome! I am not sure if you are new or not! But I have not seen you before I agree with your statement that we have a long way to go still. But I do love that some of the young athletes have been bringing it to the forefront lately to get a conversation started publicly. Hang in there! and keep venting!

ROUND 188starting a little late: weighing every day will be difficult, i usually only weigh in on sunday. i've been bouncing back and forth with my weight, a tiny gain, a tiny loss. think i will add a little exercise to the dieting plan.

5/30: 178.6 1193 calories
5/31: 176.6 30 minute walk @ 2.5 mph 1254 calories
6/1 : 178 1100 calories (and there is the bounce. not letting it bother me, 'cause my normal weigh in is sunday. when i report my weight on sunday i'll still have lost some). not sure if i'll be walking for a little while. i have arthritis in the hips. the walk yesterday i wasn't sure if i would make it home. healthy weight must come with a healthy body.
6/2 : 178, 1538 calories. going to have to do better. i caught myself "boredom" eating. i will be sure to set higher standards of myself tomorrow.
6/3 : 178.2, 1224 calories not a bad day. disappointed with my sandwiches. i used to make them with joseph's flax, oat bran, wheat lavish bread. the grocery store didn't have that when i went shopping. decided to buy pepperidge farm very thin whole wheat. it'll be excellent for toast, but for sandwich? naaah. making a mental note to buy extra joseph's when they're back... i'll freeze it.
6/4 : 178.6 1609 calories. was my calorie intake poor choices? i don't think so. it's disappointing to see my weight continue to go up.... but there's other things to consider. i haven't been able to walk for several days, and my quitting smoking has been going very well. i am still using the step 2 patch, but sometimes i forget to replace it, and when stress triggers the "i NEED a cigarette" i'm able to fight past the urge. maybe i'm seeing things right/wrong. i've consumed 350 less calories this week than needed to "maintain" without the exercise, so my weight is probably right where it should be.
6/5 : 180.2 1037 calories. hmmmm. not really understanding how the app keeps telling me i'll weigh less in 5 weeks, but my weight keeps going up. it's proving to be quite the disappointment.
ROUND 189
SW: 180.2
Day/Weight/Comment
6/6: 179, my eating was a mess today, macro's messed up, calories exceeded. i did get a good 2mi. walk in @3.0mph. i have also graduated to step 3 with the nicotine patch, that was a difficult experience also (yay me.... i didn't give in!) i'd like to go for another walk tonight, but worry about the arthritis. maybe a nice slow stroll around the community.
6/7: 178.8 my eating is still a mess, macro's still messed up, now i have seriously lagged in calories. it was too hot to sleep last night, so when i finally got to sleep i ended up waking up too late to take a walk. heat and humidity do not agree with me. i'd like to go out now to walk, but sometime tonight the county is spraying for mosquito's (not even sure if my area is being sprayed, just don't want to get caught in it if it is). every thing seems disappointing today, but i do have a beautiful cucumber in my garden that i will pick tomorrow morning!
6/8: 178.2 that's not a true weight loss. previously, i have been weighing myself at all different times of the day, so my weight would vary. i think i have found the perfect time in the morning to get on that scale. hopefully, i can continue to hit the scale about the same time in the morning to get an accurate weight gain/loss. calories today were pretty good. macros still terrible. took a 1.5mi walk @3.0mph, so i'm feeling good that i got that in. cigarette cravings are still high, and a couple times today i replaced smoking with food.... not good.

I've enjoyed the Queen's platinum jubilee weekend, but that is now over, many of my clothes are beginning to feel a little uncomfortable, no way do I want to get into the sprial of buying the next size bigger clothes, I'd like to lose a couple of pounds this round, but any is a loss!!!!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.

6/6 141.6 – oh dear !! That is my highest weight since I started these rounds (round 69) ! As you can see I did celebrate Her Majesty's platinum jubilee and I did enjoy it. But now is the time to move on. Not only that I am starting to drop behind with my walking daily average goal; one of the reasons is my temp. seasonal part time job, but enough of the excuses, lets move on and make this round count!
6/7 140.4 - 9.2 miles walked, good food choices, a third of exercise calories eaten back.
6/8 139.6 – good to see the 130's again! 7 miles walked, no exercise calories eaten back, 11g carbs over.
6/9 139.4 – 11.07 miles walked. A third of exercise calories eaten back.

@carenwilson1983 every time I see your updates it makes my stomach growl but maybe those Atkins shakes pack more of a punch than I realize. How do you find the energy? Also I’m curious because I bore quickly with simple meals, how do you stay motivated with that diet?2 -

6/6 184.8 SW. I'm feeling better after a week back on MFP, eating well and exercising. Just adjusted my macros for higher protein and continuing with exercise routine. Walking, cycling and strength training are my go to's. Love reading everyone's comments and encouragements.
6/7 183.6 Always nice to see the scale go down, but remembering that there will be little ups and downs all week.....Busy day at work, and have a bike ride with dear husband after work to look forward to.
6/8- 183.6 It rained yesterday so the bike ride didn't happen, but I did 45 minutes of Jessica Smith workouts instead. Tried kickboxing--which was fun and harder than I expected. Does anyone else know Jessica Smith? If you are getting back into exercise, she has tons of free workouts on YouTube. The variety is great and it's easy to do in your own house.
6/9 183.6 I woke up hungry this morning--which I take as a good sign, but the scale didn't move. Often, i will have the same weight for a few days and then it will drop.....or else I need a better scale! I'm super busy at work trying to reframe what I tell myself about it. I just need to delegate and remember it all doesn't have to get done this week--prioritize and delegate/ask for help.
Bright side: I've been exercising/moving everyday and that does feel good.

6/09 - 151.3 - Salt bloat is now gone, thankfully. Focused very heavily on water yesterday. Sleepy bug has got me this week and every morning has been a struggle. However, I can now say I've made it through all my wakeups for work this week and lived to tell the tale! Only two more 330am work wake ups left! Dinner was grilled chicken drumsticks with bbq glaze, corn, and green beans. Same for lunch today. Breakfast the usual overnight oats. I think I have enough oats for at least ONE more breakfast so I'll need to find an alternate for my last day of work next week. Shouldn't be difficult. I'll try to check in at some point tomorrow but busy busy. Taking BigBro to work with SD so we can stay in town to knock out our shopping first thing in the morning. Then drug test for work and her eye appointment. Also going to try to knock out as much of my packing for the beach vacation next week as possible since I don't know what the weekend holds and I know I don't have enough time to pack it all after work Tuesday. Hopefully all the movement tomorrow will help spur on some weight movement, and by movement, I mean off my body. In case I can't check in, hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

Previous Day's Comments6/06 - Water weight, I'm guessing. Also lack of sleep. Triple digit temperatures and working outside. Simply couldn't keep up no matter how hard I tried. I did accept the remote job on Friday. Waiting to hear from my current job HR and then from new job about all the information needed for onboarding. Anxiety through the roof with this transition right now, but I'm coping best I can. Busy week for work even before the added stress of handoff so hopefully days will go fast.
6/07 - Insight (hindsight?) from yesterday is TOM decided to make an appearance which, on top of the weekend water debacle (which I rectified to the best of my ability yesterday and will continue today) and sleep, accounts perfectly for the increase. Still dealing with TOM bloat today, plus some salt from dinner last night. Back on track, though. Steak and green beans for dinner last night as well as lunch today. Breakfast is the usual overnight oats. Dinner will be some form of "Taco Tuesday" fare, whether that be burritos, tacos (street or regular), enchiladas, nachos or something else. Hoping an email today so I can begin process for background check and hopefully schedule my drug test for this Friday as I'm going on vacation Wednesday next week until Sunday plus my last 2 days of work filled with out-processing Monday-Tuesday. Start date is Monday after we get back from vacation. Luckily ma helped me gather all my addresses for the last 7 years (required) and that's the hardest part of it all. Just takes the longest once submitted so best to get it done as soon as possible after I get the information packet to submit. Whew. Lots and lots of busy work finishing my assignments at this job as much as possible and getting all the on-boarding for new one with such a tight deadline.
6/08 - Salty dinner of nachos (dang you delicious salty tortilla chips!!!). All good, it fit in my plan and I was anticipating it. Lunch leftover is a burrito and left the chips behind. I was feeling extremely bloated last night when I went to bed which seemed to be way too soon for the salt (an hour after eating?) so not sure what else is going on in the body. I'm focusing on my water, though. Hopefully the bloat goes away soon, though, as we leave for the beach getaway a week from today and I'm feeling uncomfortable and not confident at all.

6/6 172.8 Had ice cream at Splash Country yesterday and a ribeye steak last night. They theoretically worked into my calories, but hubby put salty seasoning on the steak and I think that is probably responsible for this little tick up. I was worried about it at the time, but it was too late. He doesn't usually do that.
6/7 171.6 Excellent day on food yesterday and even though I didn’t do specific exercise, I was busy all day and closed all my rings at least once.
6/8 171.4 Beginning of two-week vacation in Florida; tomorrow’s numbers will be from a different scale. Looking to make good food choices and get in lots of exercise.
6/9 171 Did a good job controlling intake, even with the lunch on the plane that consisted of Cheez Its. Lol. Got in laps of the concourse at the airport. Will be eating seafood every day here for a while, but we usually only eat two meals a day down here. Choice of preparation and portion control will be the important things along with getting in lots of exercise. But that’s my plan!

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.12 -

6/6 196 (+1.0) Enough. I’ve enjoyed my time on vacation and have been really busy and off plan. I’m thankful for this community that inspires me to stay committed and moving forward and downward on this journey. Essentially, I’ve slid and as of today, am 8 pounds over my low weight. Vacation was great and I wouldn’t change anything, but today it’s time to refocus. I’ve thrown out all the food that isn’t on my eating plan and hiked yesterday with my sister to set our benchmark for the year. Last year, the first time I hiked this trail, I had to stop multiple times to catch my breath. Yesterday, we completed the 2.8 mile hike in 1:20. Last year it took almost 2 hours. I never felt the need to stop. It felt great and it was a beautiful day. We took progress photos and I can see it!! I don’t even want to be over 200 pounds again! Today, I honestly thought about not accurately recording my weight because I’m embarrassed, but who am I hurting and fooling?
6/7 194.4 (-.6) Not 100% on track but a much better day. Walked with the dogs, drank all my water and logged all my food. Just a little over on calories. Today, I’m scheduled for a mammogram and bone density test. Next? I really need to schedule my colonoscopy. Checking off the preventative care. Planning to swim today.
6/8 193.0 (-2.0) Swimming was great, although I did end up with a sunburn. They’ve closed the indoor pool by my house because of a lack of lifeguards. I need to do more research and figure out an indoor solution. Today, I’m back out at the large off-leash park with my dogs. Exercise four days in a row. My walk with the dogs is a leisure 2 and a half mile walk. It gets us out and moving, which is a really good thing. Still hungry and eating a few more calories than I should, but eating the right things and it’s showing.
6/9 192.2 (-2.8) Keeping busy is a key for me. It’s those times when I’m sitting watching television that the cravings seem to come, especially after dinner. My goal is back to not eating after 6pm. I’m wondering if my 4-5 weeks off of plan will mean my body resets enough to restart the bigger losses. I’d love to be in the 180’s by the end of this challenge. That means no indulgence meal this week.

Busy day yesterday with my pup, Rory. In the morning I taught an obedience class, then took Rory through his Urban Canine Good Citizen test, which he passed with flying colors. We went to various places—fire station, construction site, ice skating center—to test the dogs around urban sites and sounds, including strange (!) people, stairs, different flooring surfaces, elevator…. So at 11 months, Rory is now officially Stormridge Celtic Thunder TKN CGC CGCU (TKC = Novice Trick Dog). Then in the evening we trained for his tracking test, hoping to be ready in the fall. He loves tracking and is very good at it. How does this relate to weight loss? I got a LOT of exercise yesterday! Here’s Rory yesterday after passing his test.
CONGRATULATIONS RORY!!!!5
