@wakegrrl happy birthday Kathy! 🥳

❤️ @deepwoodslady you are too kind Donna. I’m still achey but no fever and finally holding stuff down today so hopefully this was just a little hug.

I hope the both of you are on the upswing to recovering as well.

Round # 57 for me!
SW: 355.8 (Exercise 3-4 times at least 10 minutes, 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)

7/06 355.8 2889 Tu
7/07 357.8 5284 W
7/08 355.0 3767 Th – I got in a 19 min walk
7/09 355.0 3033 F – I got in a 15 min walk
7/10 355.0 6026 S
7/11 355.0 5659 Su – Holding steady at 355 My weekend was OK, not the best but I managed to maintain and I did lose 1.8 lbs. on Sunday which is my official weigh in day. I finally learned how to use the happy scale on my iPad to read my weight trend. Really neat. Has anyone read about the new gummy out from Oprah? Interesting. I already take an apple cider pill from Costco because I do not like the juice. I was so tempted to order it. But I never like ordering from places you can not call so I didn’t go against my rule.
7/12 355.0 4980 M – The Oprah gummies were a scam. I finally found it. I thought so. If it is too good to be true, it probably is, and I knew it. How can these people get away with this stuff! And I bet a lot of people fall for it. I had a good day yesterday at work. I have been resisting the ice cream in the freezer from 2 weeks ago. Normally I would be eating it. But not this time. Not worth the calories. I have my tasty fudge and Halo fruit bars at home. I also have some Halo ice cream too. The ice cream is ok but when I have a taste for the real stuff I go to my favorite place and get a scoop of it and enjoy!

*One of my major goals is to get my BMI under 40 (260 weight) so I can have surgery on my knees*

My journey … "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"

In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbs.

In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.

In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs

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!"

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.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

• 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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

@BlissfulK I think you should try to hang in there, I’ve only lost 1/2 a pound this round and I have a 100 pounds to lose! That being said, the link to the next round is a page back, posted by quiltingjane. I’m sorry my stupid phone won’t let me copy and paste and I’m not by a computer.

@joans1976, Thanks! No worries!! I’ll search for it Yes it will be fun to join now, but I have to prepare for a trip out of town. I also been eating a lot more food last week and this week than I will be the following weeks. I’ve been having my body adapt to a new way of eating and I’ve gained like 8 lbs since starting. I’m bringing the scale with me to start the next challenge

Day/Weight/Comment
7/6 175.2 I’m not exactly sure what is going on here in my body. I’ve been sitting basically still (or a little worse) really for a little over 3 months. I had lost almost 20 pounds over the previous 7 months, but am having trouble finding my groove again. I certainly don’t want to gain that weight back, again, so I have to figure out how to get my act together. I'm going to try to share my weight graph so you can see exactly what I'm talking about. I'm limited in activity by bad knees (see an ortho dr today, actually) but I was during the loss period too, so that is no excuse. I'm not looking for "hugs" but sharing my frustration in hopes of gaining more gumption to do the things I know it takes to get the graph to go down. Thanks for listening. Best wishes to all of us this round!
7/7 173.6 Progress in more than just the numbers! I drank at least 10 cups of water yesterday and focused on going back to eating the things that helped me lose the weight last year, and of course, tracking them. But I’m a realist and know that I won’t get drops like this very often. Dr. told me I need two knee replacements yesterday, which I kind of suspected, but at 63 I think I’ll buy a little more time with injections for a while if they work. However, that does give me more incentive to lose another 15 pounds or so—to make that recovery easier when the time comes. I also started doing a seated upper body weights workout before bed last night. I’ll need some upper body strength for those surgeries. That felt really good and I felt like I'd added something really good for me when I was done.
7/8 174.2 Ate out twice yesterday, so this is understandable. HOWEVER, I am so proud of myself for how I have handled the first day of camping with Dad this weekend. We have eaten healthy, and I have controlled portions. I have maintained control all day! I won’t have a scales the next two mornings, but hopefully I can continue this and not gain weight this weekend. All next week I'll be weighing in on the scales at Dad's house. Gotta help him get some things done around the house before I go back to work (education).
7/9 No scales
7/10 No scales
7/11 No scales
7/12 172.6 I’m so pleased with this considering I’ve been camping with Dad for several days. I did SO MUCH BETTER with food choices and portion control. I am feeling much more in control of cravings and have gotten lots of exercise.

Hi, I’m Kathy.

18th 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: 229.0
UGW for now: 195, then reevaluate

Goal for this round: less than I started with

Day/Weight/Comment
7/6 229.0 A bit out of control this weekend. I broke my cardinal rule and didn’t log everything I ate and drank for three days. Especially drank. Lots of get-togethers with friends that took me out of my comfort zone. Now to get back on track, effective immediately.
7/7 227.8 Glad to see the scale start moving back down. Had a good day yesterday and hoping for a great day today even though I’m not feeling so hot physically. Meals are planned and logged; lots of leftovers from the weekend but we’ll eat them in a sensible way.
7/8 226.2 Good news – I’ve now dropped all the bloat I picked up over the holiday weekend. Bad news – I’ve also just tested positive for COVID. Going to keep drinking water and eating sensibly when I feel like eating.
7/9 224.4
7/10 225.8
7/11 223.4 The COVID struggle is real here. My husband tested positive on Saturday but we’re doing okay. Fortunately our son is over it so he can pick up food and groceries, etc. This new variant is no joke. I can tell I’m getting better, though, because I’m hungry again. 😊 Why is it that when I’m sick, all I want is unhealthy food?
7/12 224.0 Well, today’s my birthday. This round of COVID has hit me hard and I still feel awful, which stinks. My son made pancakes this morning and they’re the first thing that’s felt settled in my stomach since Friday. So maybe carbs are the answer, at least for today.

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 192 ( my 124th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.

Goal this round is just to lose, I want my Commonwealth Volunteer uniform to feel a little less “snug” ! No binges, keep within calories & macros.

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.

SW:
Day/Weight/Comment
7/6 138.8 – 9.65 mles walked, less than 50% exercise calories eaten back, 39 carbs over. Looking brighter!
7/7 139.4 – providing child care for 2 little DGD yesterday; the older one (3) was sick with a really nasty cold/virus so very little movement yesterday hence calories were over and it shows on scales.
7/8 139.4 – providing child care for 2 little DGD yesterday; the older one (3) was sick with a really nasty cold/virus so very little movement yesterday hence calories were over and it shows on scales.
7/9 138.6 – 9.79 miles walked yesterday, all but 55 exercise calories eaten back.



7/10 139.4 – 13.64 miles walked yesterday, ¾ exercise calories eaten back, 12 carbs over.
7/11 140.4 – 15.02 miles walked yesterday, ¾ exercise calories eaten back. We didn't take a picnic on our walk like we normally do at weekends, we stopped a little over half way at an old fashioned restaurant/bar and had a ploughman's platter washed down with a cider. I guesstimated the food portions as best I could and only had 2 pieces of fruit for evening meal so I was hoping I'd not gain. I am guessing/hoping that this gain is mainly due to the extra sodium, MFP shows 1597mg sodium & 34g fat over. We had a selection of cheeses, pepperoni, salami, parma ham, blue cheese, salad, coleslaw, pork pie, fresh bread, more cheese!! There was a lot of cheese!! I did drink a ton of water, especially as it was so hot to keep hydrated, but it was delicious and presented so attractively too, oh well will be super extra good today to make up for it! Already been out and walked over 8 miles before the heat builds up to much.
7/12 139.4 – 9.91 miles walked yesterday, no exercise calories eaten back, chugges so much water !! Need constistency now.
7/13 138.4 - 8.69 miles walked, 20% of exercise calories eaten back. Still really chugging that water, keeping hydrated !

@deepwoodslady - good to hear you are starting to feel a bit better, keep up the good work, continue to look after yourself and I hope your recovery continues.

Hi all, this will be my second round. I lost 2 pounds the first round. I hope to keep that up this round.
Welcome to all the new members this round!

UGW: 150
191 SW: 252.6 EW: 250.6
192 SW: 250.6 GW: 248.0 (down 2.6 pounds)

7/6: 251.0 – slight increase due to poor choices yesterday. I will get back into the groove today.
7/7: 250.6 – down to starting weight. It was a bad day yesterday from what I ate and drank, but I was still OK on calories. I need to get back on track today!
7/8: 252.0 – up some today. Probably due to sodium, but we will see as I had two bad days there. I got back on track yesterday. Now, I just need to stay on track!
7/9: 252.0 – Still the same. I ate on plan yesterday, so I hope that the weight starts coming off again soon.
7/10: 251.2 – Down some from yesterday so I am glad to see that. Went out to lunch with the family and ate off my eating plan but still stayed OK on calories although ate too many carbs. Dinner, I ate back on plan. I am planning all my meals today and the rest of the week so that I stay on plan and, hopefully, I will lose some more before Friday!
7/11: 252.2 – Up again! Probably due to sodium. Looking back, I did eat higher than normal sodium. So, I need to work on sodium intake.
7/12: 249.0 – I guess it was the sodium. It all came off plus some. Let’s see if it stays off!
7/13: 248.2 – Well I guess that I had a lot of water weight on me. It is very nice to see the weight finally come off. If this lasts, I am almost to my goal for this round! I hope it stays off!

/stretching, spinning and walking/
Let’s see if I can do something I am not ashamed of this round. Round 191 ended with my highest average on record since starting JGM10D. And this is the time of year I usually do better because of outdoor activities! I MUST do better than just phoning-it-in this round!

It starts today with no dipping into the office snack stock-pile.

By the way, this is exactly why I participate in this daily activity. Without this my health would be a sad story…

It is going to feel good!

7/7: 217
/nada/ Yesterday was a day full of meetings. I avoided the office stock-pile of snacks, so I have that going for me, I guess.

Starting tomorrow, I will be on a three day weekend family (wife’s) reunion on Lake Geneva Wisconsin. Organizers said that everyone should bring a sweet and a salty snack for our evening get-togethers. The conference center we are staying at has buffet style meals. I will try to avoid snaccidents. I will weigh in tomorrow, but not Saturday or Sunday without a scale. Searching for NSV’s.

7/9 DNW
/nope/
7/10: DNW…birthday!
/golfing and walking/ lots of eating.
7/11: 220
/mostly sitting and eating/ birthday eats.

7/12: 219
/grass mowing/ calories well below goal, but quality of the food was questionable. Such as Taco Bell and beef jerky I received as a birthday gift.

I love how the Taco Bell commercials show how all you need to hear is a bell and you turn into a zombie and walk straight into a Taco Bell to binge eat by yourself.

7/13: 217
/Spinning preceded by a tough virtual Les Mills stretching class/ That stretching class really challenges me. And, the spinning empties me. Both a good thing but it would never happen by myself. I need group exercise classes because they always push me beyond my natural quit time.

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.

I'm a little perplexed by this because I've been pretty on plan this week. Aunt Flo is about to exit, hopefully, so maybe that will make some difference. Starting to think my lowest weight (137.8) was actually an anomaly or a scale glitch. LO slept a lot better last night. I got my first "good" Fitbit sleep rating for a long time, so hoping for a productive day at work and a Peloton ride. I did my first Peloton strength class with weights yesterday and it felt good! It had been too long since I did any kind of strength training, maybe even before the pandemic started since I was going to the gym occasionally then. Happy hump day everyone!

@musicsax I'm amazed you walk so far each day! Do you walk outside or on a treadmill? I feel like each of your days would be a major hike or something for me!

7/6 W- 145.8 - Peloton & yoga yesterday; planned/tracked my food
7/7 Th - 146.0 - Yesterday: Yoga & strength workout; tracked food but 300 over calorie goal. Today: Traveling so most likely won't be able to exercise.
7/8 F - ?? - Traveling; on the road 900+ miles over the past two days, but we made it to SW Florida! Tracked food; packed low-cal snacks; sandwich; went over calorie goals but did better than normal because we avoided fast food. I'll be able to weigh in tomorrow.
7/9 Sa - 144.0 - Two pounds down from last weigh-in on Thursday. Weighed on a different scale. Hoping it's not the scale.
7/10 Su - 143.2 - Long bike ride yesterday, logged food. Ate out for lunch & dinner; guessed calories. Happy with the results!
7/11 M - 142.6 - We were on the beach yesterday. I tracked my food. I went 400ish calories over my daily goal, but got in an open water swim. I was happily surprised with my weight this morning. It helped me to track food. It kept me from late night snacking last night. I'm trying to catch up on Stranger Things. I'm just now getting to season 3.
7/12 Tu - 144 - Tracked food past two days but did not plan it. I went over my calorie goal both days.
7/13 W - 143.6 - The last two days have been tough. I've been hungry all day both days. I didn't get my workout in yesterday. I didn't eat much for lunch, which made me want to snack. I'm adding more protein today, especially at breakfast. We're having a working vacation in Florida until the end of July. I miss my Peloton. The good news is that I'm going to go for a bike ride with hubby, outside, after work today.

GoRun2

I am female and 66 years young from northern California

Round Goal: I’d love to get to 135, Then I’d only have 10 lbs. to go. 10 lbs. sounds like so much less than 12 lbs.
UGW: 125
SGW: 136.8
Day/Weight/Comment
7/6 - 136.8 – Today we are rounding up volunteers to trim part of the hiking trail. Not a lot of walking more bending and stooping.
7/7 – 136.4 – Yesterday I decided I need stronger legs so I can get off the ground more gracefully. I did 2 sets of squats. Sore legs today. Off for a walk today with a serious hill.

7/8 – 135.8 – Yay, getting closer to my round goal of 135.

7/9 – 136 – Why isn’t losing weight linear? I had a big dinner with a couble glasses of wine. While I was under my calories for the day, probably a lot of food in my gut

7/10 – 136 – Got poison oak all over my face. I was working on our trail and must have touched my face with my gloves. Also have sore hip so took a day off from walking. Stayed under my calories.

7/11 – 135.4 – We had roasted vegetables with white beans, pasta, and pesto. So good. I wanted a glass of wine for dinner but decided that it was more important to lose weight. I seem to be talking to myself a lot these days. Suffering with poison oak. Sometimes suffering means a glass of wine so happy that I skipped it. I have a dress I’d like to fit into in 2.5 weeks. I can zip it up but it would look better if I lost 5 lbs.

7/12 – 135.4 – Went to physical therapy and came how sore. Decided to have a couple of glasses of wine since my shoulder was so sore. I was under my calories for the day. Did a 4 mile walk in the morning.

7/13 – 135.4 – Went for a 3 hour walk yesterday and was under my calorites for the day.

Day/Weight/Calories/Comment

7/06 - 180
Big rains here yesterday—7+ inches in some areas. Our lovely tulip tree, planted 3 years ago, is leaning on the fence. 😢 We have someone coming out to see if they can pull it up and stake it. I hope so! Other than that we have no damage, but lots of trees down, power outages, and flooding in the area. I did eat ice cream to sooth myself last night.

7/07 - 179.8
Good day yesterday, foodwise. And Rory passed his Advanced Canine Good Citizen test. Today’s the last day of doggy school until August, although we’ll still be meeting a couple of friends for tracking. It’s great exercise—lots of walking on uneven ground—and fun! I have lots of salad makings for lunch.

7/08 - 180.2
I just don’t get it. My calories the past few week+ have been well below maintenance, and a bit below my goal, and I’m getting plenty of exercise between dog training and gardening. So discouraging. I’m about ready to give up and just live with it. If it weren’t for my belly, I wouldn’t much care, to be honest. But jeez, why give up stuff if it makes no difference? Waaaa! (No hugs needed, I’m just venting again.)

7/09 - 178.4
Just when I was ready to throw in the towel! I’ve been over my food the past few days and have no idea what would make me hover and bounce up like I did. Oh, well. It’s a mystery sometimes. Have a beautiful Saturday!

7/10 - 179.2
Boing. This is water — my calories were fine but I had more sodium than usual. And at least it’s not back to the 80s! Have a lovely Sunday, everyone!

7/11 - 179
Not sure this is accurate—my scale is bonkers. I weighed myself 5 times and got 5 different weights. This is the average. I’ll change the batteries and see what it says tomorrow. In any case, I’m sticking to the plan, so all good! Happy Monday!

7/12 - 178.2
Yay! New batteries, consistent weights, and down a little. All good!

7/13 - 177.4
Whoa! Okay, something’s finally working. I still haven’t quite hit my macro goals per GenoPalate’s recommendations, but slowly I’m lowering fat and increasing complex carbs. Protein is good. And I’m feeling much more energetic and optimistic.

7/6 - 162.9 (+.5) - Bloat & holiday damage💧176 oz., 🥗under, 💪strength training only, 👟7,696, ⛑+4 (162). What a long day it was! Still plan on sticking with fast (mind, body, soul) and hope to have the energy to squeeze in some cardio.

“Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.” - Arthur Ashe

7/8 - 161.9 (-.1) - 💧 176 oz. , 🥗 under 👟 12,302 💪573. Another long one but I get to return to the water today. Volunteered at the community garden in the evening and feeling it in my buns and lower back (a lot of squatting & bending over). Not my usual hammie’s but shows me where I need to focus some workouts.
“Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.” - Suzy Kassem

7/9 - 162.5 (+.6) - 💧180 oz., 🥗 under 👟 10,615 💪 630 ⛑ + 20 (185). Had a great time at the lake but sun was brutal. Betting increase is a combo of hormones & some sore muscles.

7/10 - 162.3 (-.2) - 💧180 oz. 🥗 under 👟4,415 ⛑ +12 (196). Bad ankle was swollen & in pain so took it easy. Shampoo’d upholstery and as afternoon approached I started feeling feverish & downright horrible. Just up from an extra am nap, we’ll see how it goes.

7/11 - 162.6 (+.3) - 💧160 oz. 🥗 over (by 11) 👟696⛑ +2 (193). Still loosing a lot of fluids & running a fever. Been resting big time, will be calling Dr. later.

Q: What do you call a fake noodle?
A: An impasta

7/13 - 160.4 (-.4) A little achey but on the mend. Been eating pure carbs for the most part & now that I’m holding down my food I expect to see weight rise back up a bit. 💧178 oz., 🥗 under 👟11,574 💪 flex, light cardio + strength ⛑ +18 PAI (147)

Did it! Although the scales went up 2lb + after July 4, I hopped right back on the wagon and met my goals on July 5

The Holiday Bloat is on its way out.

Ouch! So I need to up my water and stop eating my earned calories. Sigh!

Bad day. My dog hurt her paw pads running on stones and so could not walk with me. It felt so wrong to go out and leave her sad and limping at home. Work was stressy. Family kept interrupting - WFH is so not nirvana. I gave up and ate junk.
7/10 147.7(-1.8)💧80✔️👣10K ✔️🍴✔️
Dog is getting better, but I walked without her except two tiny outings. All day, I could feel the water bloat leaving. Belt was a notch tighter by the end of the day.
7/11 147.7 (0)💧80✔️👣10K ✔️🍴✔️
A good day. Dog was good for 3 slow walks yesterday and running again this morning.

Fair enough. I still have enough time and runway to make it back to 147.5 in the next 3 days.
7/13 148.0(-.3)💧48✔️👣11K ✔️🍴✖️
30 days ago I morphed from a pandemic hangover couch potato to 10k steps up and down hills every day. Weight dropped fast at first then plateaued. But during the plateau my jeans got looser and my belt got tighter. So it must be true that muscle takes less room than fat. 💡💡💡 I thought that was just an urban legend. 🤣🤣🤣
