@jedaschultz - Happy Anniversary!6

Hi All - I'm in for round 4 for me. These challenges are working for me and the support from the group is priceless. The next 10 days will be tough because I'm away from my Peloton and on a working vacation in Florida. I lost a little over 2 pounds last round (did some yo-yo-ing in the middle. I'm hoping to keep the downward trend going, exercising daily, and making/sticking to my meal plans.

7/17 S - 146.4 - Went off track yesterday. It was a beach day. I shared a plate of nachos with hubby and had 2 mojitos.
7/18 M - 144.2
7/19 Tu - 142.8
7/20 W - 143.8
7/21 Th - 143.6 - Yesterday was another tough day - stayed hungry and didn't get to work out. I did track my food and didn't go too overboard. I think I would have stopped tracking by now if not for this challenge! I am really appreciating the camaraderie!

Day/Weight/Comment
7/16: 154.6, I'v gained past my initial weight in Feb 2022 of 145 . I'm changing diet and it's known to gain before losing when becoming fat adapted. I plan to start seeing fat loss in August
7/17: 154.6, I forgot to weigh before eating this morning. Happy I'm still the same weight Hopefully I have reached my peak of weight gain. Body is adapting to higher fat diet
7/18: 154.2, I forgot to weigh myself before eating. Surprisingly I still recorded a loss! I think I'm finally going to start trending down
7/19: 153.4, Still need to workout today
7/20: 154.0, I ate alot of bacon yesterday which probably caused me to retain water. Nice observation to watch the amount of bacon
7/21: 154.0, I forgot to weigh myself before eating again!🙃 I'm still out of town so not in routine right now. I most likely would of had a recorded loss today. I weighed myself right after eating when I remembered lol

Day/Weight/Comment
7/16 352.6 – I thought I was really late and I am not lol. This week has been unreal. After the funeral Thursday I decided to go get tested for COVID and the test came back positive. I feel fine though. I just felt like I had a bad cold. Taking the normal over the counter stuff I would take for a cold and halls lemon cough drops for cough and sore throat. I feel 100% better today. I never missed a day of work since I can work from home. But through it all I manage to stay on track with my food!! Thursday after the funeral I went to get me some good old comfort food but I was so much better than the old days!! Beef barley soup! And a small piece of cheesecake and a breakfast bowl I have been eating off for 2 days now. I will finish it off today. I still have barley soup and a little of the bowl left. Exercise has been terrible, but I will do a workout today since I feel up to it. The doctor told me the reason my symptoms were so minor for COVID was because I was double boosted. I was shocked, I tested positive. But my sister kept urging me to see if I had it. So, I went to an Urgent Care facility that does rapid test results. The gov tests were too complicated for this old girl! What a joke! I get to work from home all next week because I have it. I will retest on Wednesday and hopefully it will be negative. Since I still wear my mask everywhere including at work when I am in the office, I do not think I gave it to anyone, but I do know how I got it.
Again, as many have posted on here COVID is still out here and whether you are vaccinated or not be careful and take care yourself. If you don’t believe anything else the numbers tell the story. I bet all of you know someone personally who have had and/or died from COVID. Just like millions have died from the flu, millions have died from COVID and many other diseases. So do you best to stay safe is my only message to you all…. Have a great weekend and keep up the good work!
7/17 352.6 – A friend brought me over food from the BBQ I was supposed to attend yesterday. I ate some of the food yesterday and have some from today and it was yummy. I told her not to bring me too many sweets unless they were worth the calories. I specifically told her no cookies that are great, but I wanted the other stuff. So, I had one dessert yesterday. I am having another one today and the last one tomorrow. The old me, would have been eaten all in one day even if they made me sick which unfortunately in most cases I never got sick. But now I probably would which is another reason I can restrain myself. I feel fine today, so I am really hoping I test negative for COVID on Tuesday. I am going to try for Tuesday since it is more convenient for me to go on Tues vs. Wed
7/18 353.8
7/19 353.8
7/20 352.4
7/21 348.6 – Well a lot has happened this week. My Dad has been sick. He has been in the nursing home since February 2018. He never really recovered from my mom, who died Oct 28th, 2015. She had a 10-year battle with colon cancer. He is now dying and in hospice. I saw him tonight and he look so peaceful. I think my appetite has been off because of COVID and stress. I finally got a chance to see him even though I still tested positive for COVID. They say I am no longer contagious.

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.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. 8 -
@TerriRichardson112 I dont know what we would do around here without your posts!
How are your daily decluttering sessions going?
Where did you get the colorful scratching off the weights by the 10s thing?
Decluttering is an essential never-ending task for someone with hoarding tendencies 😝 My generation were hot-wired to reduce/reuse/recycle post WW2 (1940s/50s) due to shortages and rationing.
The weight countdown came from one of the other members of the group a couple of years ago.

7/16 - 152
7/17 - 152.5
7/18 - 150.5 - Back to the office today. I'm drinking plenty of water to hopefully prevent a bounce from the sodium this weekend.
7/19 - 150 - The scale bounced between 149.5 and 150.5 so I'm taking the average. I have a business lunch today at a very popular local Italian restaurant. I'm planning to order a low calorie salad, although it will be hard not to have some of their famous pizza or lasagna.
7/20 - 150 - Okay. I ended up having a half piece of pizza and half of my salad for lunch yesterday. I stayed on plan the rest of the day.
7/21 - 150 - I ate well yesterday.
7/22 - 149.5 - Yay, I hit my goal for the round. I may bounce up tomorrow because of the sodium I'll be eating tonight, but at least my trend is going down.

Exercised 60 min treadmill steady incline.
For those suffering from covid . Hoping you recover quickly . Covid can make you feel like crap. Drink lots of fluids and keep your nutrition up.
As an icu nurse covid is still out there. We still see a few patients a week in the hospital . Most are vaccinated and boosted but they don’t end up on my unit. Last fall / winter when delta hit we were always full and we lost so many and some were young. Yes covid is still out there but each round it is lessening but you still have to be safe.

7/18 - 161.2 (+1.2) - Wowsa! I was amped again yesterday! Spent almost 14 hrs at the lake and was actively paddling/swimming just shy of 10hrs. (racing my son + best friend for a fair chunk). Not sure where this burst of energy has come from but I’ll take it. I feel better than I have in at least a month. I was sore while we were still moving + shaking yesterday and today there isn’t a muscle outside of my face that isn’t feeling it! Ate late at Red Robin and treated myself to a big Stella. Once I stopped moving though I was ready to snooze and that’s about what happened as soon as we got back home. Between the muscles, heat and food choices (how late it was to boot) I’m not surprised by the scale but it’ll fall right back off. Scored a never used Vertical Climber for $25 (my goal hitting prize) and can’t wait to pick up this evening. 💧148 oz., 🥗 Net Under, 💪3,245 kcal’s, 👟38,645, ⛑ +75 (262).

Day/Weight/Calories/Comment
7/16 - 178
I went a little off the rails last night, but I think it was ok as I worked a good five hours in the garden transplanting and planting various things. I was hungry and pooped! I did eat more salt than usual—was craving it, so I ate some Triscuits with cheddar cheese. So not as junky as it might have been! We’ve had a lovely rain to water everything in, so I’ve been out weeding this morning, and plan to go tracking (dog tracks, I follow) later. Tracking = lots of walking. In the meantime I think I’ll just sit and read. Enjoy your Saturday!
7-17 - 178.4
Lots of walking yesterday evening while tracking training with two friends and their dogs. We were out for 2 hours, walking most of that through fields. I conked out early last night! Calories were under goal in spite of a piece of lovely peach galette I made from my big box of peaches, so I think this bump is from Friday night. I also made a low-sugar peach-ginger jam—it’s fabulous!—and froze a bunch of peaches for smoothies and whatever in the future. Now I’m off for a short tracking session to work on some weaknesses. Surely all this walking will force some pounds to fall off? Have a lovely Sunday!
7/18 - 178
Monday, Monday…although I trust the day to be productive. I went over calories yesterday, but not over maintenance, so all good. The plan for today is back on track. Have a lovely!
7/19 - 177.8
I made a lovely tropical fruit & mixed berries collagen powder almond milk smoothie for breakfast—yummy! Leftover chicken fajita soup for dinner. Probably a salad for lunch. Nice to have the day planned! I’ve edited my goal for the year—no weight goal. I find weight goals aren’t viable. I can’t control what I weigh, only what I eat and do for exercise. If I do those with health in mind, the weight will follow. I don’t know what I was thinking giving myself untenable goals. Life is one long revision!
7/20 - 177
It’s gonna be a scorcher here as many other places. I think I’ll make gazpacho for lunch or dinner. Cold and yummy. Here’s a photo I took yesterday that makes me smile—but then Rory and sunflowers always make me smile. I hope the make you smile, too!
7/21 - 176.8
Finally, something is working! I made gazpacho yesterday for lunch because of the heat, and have leftovers for today, so yay. Stay cool, everyone!
7/22 - 177.2
No problem—I blew right through my calorie goal (though still below maintenance) with a splurge on Tortitos that DH wanted to go with the gazpacho, and later some ice cream. I paid, though, with an upset tummy, probably from the salt. I haven’t had chips of any kind in, wow, I can’t even remember. It will be another long time now! And all is well, back on track today. I have 11 new daylilies to plant this morning before it gets too hot. Happy Friday, all!

Hi All - I'm in for round 4 for me. These challenges are working for me and the support from the group is priceless. The next 10 days will be tough because I'm away from my Peloton and on a working vacation in Florida. I lost a little over 2 pounds last round (did some yo-yo-ing in the middle. I'm hoping to keep the downward trend going, exercising daily, and making/sticking to my meal plans.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/16 / 166.4 / Even my husband asked me this morning why my face was so puffy. I had a super long day yesterday- at the final workday corporate event for the Stampede standing on a rooftop patio in hot weather and then a night at the grounds watching live music standing on concrete. Surpassed 20,000 steps again and just did what I needed to avoid heat stroke or dehydration. Off to the lake today.
7/17 / DNW / At the lake and forgot the scale. Supper last night was a nice salad with watermelon and cherries. Got my 10,000 steps and had a nap.
7/18 / 163.8 / Last corporate event for Stampede last night and I went way too hard and hot home way too late. We went and saw Elvis after work today.
7/19 / 165.8 / At the airport to fly back to Ontario to visit my husband's family. Looking forward to enjoying it in the middle of summer as we are usually there more during the shoulder seasons.
7/20 / DNW / Supper and a long walk on the boardwalk when we landed last night. Off to Canada's Wonderland today. So thankful I don't have to worry about fitting on any of the rides.
7/21 / DNW / Unfortunately I am sick again and it's impacted some of our vacation plans. My husband found us a nice suite style apartment for me to lay low at for a few days while I recover.
7/22 / DNW / Had a good night of sleep. Feel pretty good today. We ordered yummy Skip The Dishes last night so I went over my calorie goal. Shouldn't turn to food when I'm feeling sorry for myself but I got caught up in the moment. It happens.

Exercised 60 min treadmill steady incline.
For those suffering from covid . Hoping you recover quickly . Covid can make you feel like crap. Drink lots of fluids and keep your nutrition up.
As an icu nurse covid is still out there. We still see a few patients a week in the hospital . Most are vaccinated and boosted but they don’t end up on my unit. Last fall / winter when delta hit we were always full and we lost so many and some were young. Yes covid is still out there but each round it is lessening but you still have to be safe.

7/18 - 165.3 - 14,500/66. SO made a surprise appearance so exercise was out of whack. Some quality time with him and all the grandkids. So activity was down and snacks & calories were up!! Sorry way way behind on posts again!!
7/19 - 165.9* - 12.900/66. Visited friends campsite. Had a great campfire steak dinner and a couple adult beverages, wonderful night. SO leaves for work Thursday so I've penciled in some big walks maybe oceanside as I think it's going to get real' warm. No hugs needed I still feel in control.
7/20 - 164.7 - 11,800/66. Low key day. After work we grabbed some Wendy's salads and took them to the beach for dinner. Enjoyed the breeze and watched an osprey fish.
7/21 - 166.8 - 13,100/82. Beach picnic with bread, cheese, lemonade, scones, hummus and too many chocolate covered almonds! Another day of high calories and less activity, again not worried. SO has left for work again so I can reel in the extra walks. He wasn't home for very long this time My scale app says I've gain weight but fat has remained stable, thank you scale!
7/23 - 165.6 - 20,700/144. Got a good evening walk in. If I can find where I put my Costco card I will make the drive for my biweekly trip if not I guess I'll put in another good walk.

@wakegrrl I’m sorry I don’t remember where you are but the idea of many available restaurants might be tempting to me, too. However, prices have gotten ridiculous here, even at fast food places. At a couple of places we go, ANY beef item automatically has $2 added to the menu price. Our favorite grilled chicken place has increased prices and decreased portions. Their already small chicken pieces (like legs and thighs) are hardly more than one bite of meat each. I told DH last week that I guess I’m going to have to do more cooking at home which is also getting pricey. Of course when I went to get a whole chicken, THAT was on SALE for $3.49/lb!!3

07/21 -199.0 - (Trend weight 200.1) Nice drop on the scale. My son and I danced for 23 minutes last night. I also rode on the stationary bike for 16 minutes. My blood pressure is still staying really low after the Covid recovery. I called the cardiologist office yesterday for advice on taking/not taking my meds but no call back. I have not taken them in 2 nights now. Even without the meds the numbers are running around 95/52. At times, the lower number is even hitting in the high 40’s. My BPM’s remain good at 88-92. Hopefully I can get some guidance today. I am back to babysitting my DGS on weekends starting in the morning. I can’t wait to see him tonight!
07/22 -198.8- (Trend weight 200.0) Scale and trend weight down. More like a dribble than a drop but I’ll take anything in the right direction! Dr. called and pulled me off all BP meds for now. I will monitor twice per day and report to them every other day unless I have reason for alarm. So….. My daughter who lives with me decided she is getting married on Sept. 3rd. I’m talking a big wedding with full length white dress (a bit of purple trim because she has had a child). In this rural area we have NOTHING that will help. It will have to be trips and online shopping. I ordered her the dress last night and his suit online along with some accessories. Of course, there will need to be altering so I opted for expedited shipping. A local seamstress will help. This is a nightmare but I do want it to be perfect for her. Gotta watch what I put on my fork, I’d like to look my best for her pictures!

@ashleycarole86 - I'm glad you're feeling better so quickly. For me when I'm sick, I can only focus on what will make me comfortable, what's easiest, and what will help me feel better. Counting calories definitely goes out the window (particularly if it is a fever).6 -

Day/Weight/Comment
7/16: 133.4 - Birthday cake and takeout Indian were the majority of my calories yesterday. Didn’t get my usual workout of Jazzercise, but did take two walks. Great sleep last night!
7/17: 133.6 - Leftover Indian food. Had a couple of good workouts plus we’re washing windows, etc in prep for some house guests. That added a bunch of active points on my watch.
7/18: 133.8 - Still working on that leftover Indian food. Kept calories within target.
7/19: 133.4 - Not sure why the slight dip weight-wise because I ate sooo many carbs yesterday. Good workout and good sleep.
7/20: 132.7 - Normal workouts, good eating, baked some sourdough bread and good sleep.
7/21: 131.2 - Normal workouts and good eating yesterday. However, even though I went to bed early, I slept terribly because I kept waking up. I always seem to get a whoosh when I don’t sleep well which is opposite of what all the research tells you.
7/22: 131.2 - Jazzercise workout and a kind of spin cycle relay competition for charity. Oh my - I have to admire all you cyclists out there - what a workout even in these 5 minute increments/bursts. I ended up lowering my calorie goals to lose a half pound per week from maintenance because I kept cycling at the higher end of maintenance range every week. I'll adjust back if I end up going down too much (ha! I've never, ever lost more than intended and in the past have struggled to maintain for more than a week).

I love the last part of this quote!
CHANGE FOREVER! That’s what many “dieters” need to learn AND why I say “this isn’t a diet, it’s a LIFESTYLE.”
Dieting to lose and then going back to your old way of eating will fail and you will regain.
I‘ve done it many times. Ever vigilant now and know the repercussions of my bad choices. No one puts food in my mouth but me!3 -
quiltingjaine wrote: »@wakegrrl I’m sorry I don’t remember where you are but the idea of many available restaurants might be tempting to me, too. However, prices have gotten ridiculous here, even at fast food places. At a couple of places we go, ANY beef item automatically has $2 added to the menu price. Our favorite grilled chicken place has increased prices and decreased portions. Their already small chicken pieces (like legs and thighs) are hardly more than one bite of meat each. I told DH last week that I guess I’m going to have to do more cooking at home which is also getting pricey. Of course when I went to get a whole chicken, THAT was on SALE for $3.49/lb!!
@quiltingjaine Our new office is in downtown Raleigh, NC. And I definitely had sticker shock yesterday when we went out for lunch after touring the new space. Between working from home since COVID and just generally being a tightwad, I don't typically eat lunch out anymore. But yesterday a chicken pita and drink cost me $13 - which is ridiculous. That will be the thing that keeps me from overdoing it.4 -
Hi, I’m Kathy.
58, F, 5’8”
19th 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: 226.0
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
7/16 226.0
7/17 225.4
7/18 225.8 Had a low-key weekend since both husband and I are still recovering from COVID. Mostly on plan but still not burning many calories.
7/19 224.8 Down 40 pounds since January! It is still surreal to me but I’m not downplaying the work and effort it took to get here. And I’m positive that I would not have done it without the support and accountability freely offered by this group. Meals for today are planned and logged.
7/20 226 We ate dinner very late and it got me.
7/21 223.8 I have a case of the post-COVID brain fog. Yesterday I didn’t even think about posting until late in the day and by then work was taking an outrageous turn. My office is moving in the next few months and we got to see the new location today. It’s surrounded by food halls and restaurants and I can already tell it will be a challenge to eat sensibly when I’m there.
7/22 223.8 So glad it’s Friday. I had to take an unexpected road trip yesterday evening to take our foster cat to his forever home, so dinner ended up being fried chicken from Publix. Glad I didn’t go up any.
@IsMollyReallyHungry I’m so sorry about your dad; you’re both in my thoughts.
@ashleycarole86 glad you’re feeling better – also glad you’re doing what’s right for you!

@IsMollyReallyHungry I’m so sorry to hear about your dad. Sending prayers for you and him.
@abigailgorton1 I love “dragged the dog.”
@wakegrrl We have a niece and family in Raleigh.
Yes, the prices are insane! At the Greek restaurant we love I always get the large Greek salad and a steak skewer. I noticed last weekend that the steak skewer that WAS about $3 is now $5.95! It’s 4 or 5 pieces of meat. I’m tempted to take my food scale with me but it can’t be more than 4-5 ounces. And we’re meeting our daughter and family there today!4
