@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?

Day/Weight/Comment

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.

@musicsax WOW 11 miles in one day--you are a walking machine! Do you ever have trouble with foot pain? I have ball of foot pain at the moment--icing it and slowing things down a bit, until it goes away.

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 Comments

6/06 - 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.

Day/Weight/Comment
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 avoided it, but why does it even enter my mind to do something so careless?

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.

Challenge 188- 195 (+1.6)

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.

06/05 …..204.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
06/06 …..205.2 ….. (Trend weight 204.0) Closed all my circles yesterday on fitbit for the first time in awhile. 3 meals but not such good choices. Very bloated and had a hard time peeing (sorry so graphic). Ended up taking AZO and up all night going potty. I’ll make better choices today. I didn’t like seeing that 5. New handyman coming today so I shall see how that goes. Very rainy and gloomy here today and it rained all night too, but we needed it badly.

06/07 …..205.0 ….. (Trend weight 204.1) I need to lose 10 pounds just to be comfortable in my clothes. Focusing on that first. The first 10 will require the most changes in habits and the most dedication and resolve. Still no good kitchen and lots of travel in the picture this month. This won’t be easy but it never is.

06/08 …..204.4 ….. (Trend weight 204.1) Traveling shortly for a root canal. Oh Joy!

06/09 …..205.4 ….. (Trend weight 204.3) Dentist couldn’t finish the root canal. He found two extra pathways and one of them sideways so after drilling and finding all that, he filled the hole with cotton, put in temp filling, ordered me an antibiotic and is sending me to an endodentist/endodontist. I’ll be calling to make that appt today for asap. Apparently he is located in the same city as the dentist. Got in some shopping and obviously some lunch. My older lady friend went with me and it was nice to spend the day with her.

Day/Weight/Comment
6/6: - DNW - backpacking
6/7: 133.2 - I was super hungry yesterday after a very long hike with a 20 pound pack on. Even with the pack on, I was carrying 20 pounds less than when I started this journey 9 months ago. Imagine hauling around almost 40 pounds more day in, day out. I stayed within my calories, but once again did go high on sugar, carbs and fat.
6/8: 133.2 - Although I’m holding steady weight wise, I don’t feel like I am. Haven’t taken any waist or hip measurements, but my clothes feel just a *tad* snugger. Ate past my limit yesterday and I’m not sure I was actually hungry in the end.
6/9: 132.9 - I was busy making bread yesterday so my whole schedule was thrown off and didn’t do everything (eat, workout) until much later than normal.

Hi, I’m Kathy.
57, F, 5’8”
15th 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
RSW: 230.8
UGW for now: 195, then reevaluate

Goal for this round: less than I started with
2022 goals: move more (okay, move some), eat mindfully

Day/Weight/Comment
6/6 230.0 New low thanks to a lovely bout with a stomach bug Sunday and Monday. Not the way to get there.
6/7 230.4 As expected, back up due to rehydration, etc.
6/8 230.2 I’m coming for you, 220s!! Headed to the gym this afternoon, meals for today are planned and logged. Welcome to all the new folks! I hope this group helps you as much as it has helped me.
6/9 230.2 Stress is not my friend. Several people on my work team are out for extended periods over the next couple of months, and it’s already getting to me. But I am proud that yesterday, instead of turning to food in the afternoon, I went to the gym. I felt much better after a solid workout and ate a reasonable dinner. Now let’s see if I can keep that mindset through the summer!

6/6-168-Finally finished my friends quilt her grandmother made years ago. They gave me the quilt top and I quilted it and put the binding on it. It was little diamonds hand pieced in the shape of a big Star. It took me a while to get the guts to quilt it, and there was negative space in all four corners and on the sides. Any way, it’s finally done and all I have to do is trim the loose threads and give it back. At least it’s not just a quilt top sitting in their closet anymore.
Lots of errands and laundry today. Dinner at event tonight; hopefully I will avoid the bread.

6/06 - 173.8 - 13,900 / 75. SO is home!! Ate at maintenance, lots of trail mix. Spent some time with the granddaughters is GD#2's 2nd birthday. She is Type 1D and we don't get to see her too much always outside and it was forecasted for lots of rain BUT the sun showed up and we had a wonderful day!! She wanted to catch me on the slide and held her hands out for me, so so sweet! Ate more, moved at my minimum goals, not worried at all.
6/07 - 173.7* - 16,900 / 116. SO invited the kids out for sushi, had a little more than usual as he went wild ordering everything. Was hard to log but most likely put me into another day of maintenance, again not worried. Did manage a second walk went a little slower then usual as my tummy was full.
6/08 -172.2* - 20,400 / 149. Went for an after dinner walk with SO, I can totally out walk him especially up hills. Feels great to breeze up the hill. Maybe he will work on his cardio more. I feel like its a hard subject to talk about, but maybe in time.

6/09 -170.7*- 14,400 / 102. SO wasn't feeling well so I walked home from work, found out this morning that's not as many steps as I usually do now. Bit of a whoosh after a couple days of more salt/carbs and higher calories.

6/06 - 171.5 (+.1), Sore but motivated. Kicking off challenge celebrating yesterday’s success - actively worked out for 23 min. & happy to report I FINALLY reached my H2O daily goal (128oz.)!
“Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” - Maya Angelou

6/07 - 171.9 (+.4 - too much sodium), Had a terrible nights rest thanks to my PTSD (13 min. Deep/ 1 hr. 28 REM, 3.10 light, the rest of my 8.5hrs in bed registered as awake). My sleeping BPM shot up & down like a roller coaster all night from 43 to 126! It’s been almost 20 years & remains a difficult topic. I wish mental health wasn’t taboo. Nobodies pain should be wrapped in shame but it frequently gets dressed that way. I don’t want or need pity, a little bit of compassion or empathy goes a long way. Still sore on top of exhausted but I exceeded my H2O goal. Took a much needed rest & recovery day which included Hatha Yoga, light rowing, light strength training (gotta keep moving 1.5hrs. total), meditation & a nap.
“To live in the body of a survivor is to never be able to leave the scene of the crime. I cannot ignore the fact that I live here.” - Blythe Baird

6/08 - 172.2 (+.3 - Sodium again + TOTM), Another rough nights sleep but I will persevere! Not sure I like this daily weight in thing but sticking to the plan & seeing how it goes. Spent part of the afternoon hiking with the kids and had hoped to call my exercise. Then I met up with an old friend……all I needed was 1 delicious margarita to put me over and then there was dessert! I won’t even dig into the sodium. Tried to work it off in the evening with the rower (put in 50 min. of light effort) but was just too exhausted after all of the sunshine and poor sleep to put in more effort. Exceeded water & exercise goals even though my net calories were a disaster so I‘ll take those wins.
“Success is not final; failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” - Winston S. Churchill

6/09 - 171.1 (-1.1 TOTM) Slept better but still not great. Put in some extra effort to try and work off yesterday’s choices and feel good about what I was able to achieve. 1hr. Dancing with kids, 1.5hr. Rowing & water goal met again.
