    Hello again, everyone!!

    My name is Ana.
    I've struggled most of my life with almost always feeling very fat. There are pictures of me that prove me right, but there are others that prove me wrong.
    2009 was the year in which I felt better about my physical appearance but in 2011, after my husband passed away I reached my highest weight (180 lbs). By 2018 I had worked my way to 140lbs and maintained it for 2 years. I was feeling very good even though I still had to battle with negative thoughts and avoided looking at myself in the mirror. Last year I learned that the pandemic and depression related to my father's death brought me back up to 156.4 lbs.
    I gave myself a year to work on my health and even though I am not where I hoped to be, I am satisfied with my efforts. For the next year I will work on maintaining a fitness schedule and on relating to food in different ways... I want to eat to live instead of live for eating. I am a little scared because the first weeks of maintenance I did OK, but the last 2 weeks of July were a huge gain. On the other hand, my clothes still fit.
    Wish me luck!

    08/01: 137.2 (+6. 2) A huge gain last month. Still recovering from vacation gain. Determined to get back to a cleaner way of eating and to exercising more frequently and focusing on building muscle just because it burns more calories, which means I can eat more 😂


    Sending love to everyone
    💖
    -A

    Goals for the week:
    1. Self-love and compassion
    2. Balance my macros
    3. Increase water intake
    4. Listen to my satiety cues
    5. Sleep at least 7 hrs every night
    6. Careful with treats
    7. Morning exercise or walk 5x/week


    REMINDER TO SELF:
    Highest Weight, 2011: 180 Lbs (81.6 Kilos)
    MFP Start: 175 Lbs (79.4 Kilos)
    Current Weight: 134.2 Lbs (60.9 Kilos)

    2022 LOSS: 2.2 Lbs (1 Kilos)
    January Start/End: 139.6 / 137.6 (- 2.0)
    February Start/End: 137.6 / 134.2 (-3.4)

    @nikkit321 Thanks for the new thread!

    @deepwoodslady Now THAT'S accountability. So glad we heard from you this morning.. looking forward to your post-surgery check-in

    August Start Weight: 172.2
    August Goal Weight: Return to maintenance range (160-165)

    I was on a long holiday at the end of July and today is my first weigh-in since! The gain on the scale was just over 6 pounds, much less than my retention from my Vegas trip. Thinking about half of that is real based on my tracking so it's time to get back to where I came from!

    August 1: 172.2

    Oh, is there such a thing as over sleeping?
    That sounds like heaven!
    I wish that I could : - )

    @dawnbgethealthy
    Yes, such a thing, but it's not the same as sleeping in lol. I get to bed so late that I struggle waking in the morning. I have two alarms set and I must have turned off the first one. The "get your butt out of bed" alarm is the one that woke me and that usually means chaos in the morning.

    @nikkit321 - I hope you can enjoy your work trip! A change of scenery always seems good for me - I hope it does for you too! (BTW, I have an ortho appt. to check this bone spur/plantar fasciitis later this month.)

    I am Dawn
    5'2", 61 and 5/6th : - )
    I have been on MFP since October 2018.
    I am close to 10 pounds heavier than this time last year.
    Hoping to drop weight this month, but have extended company coming, an old friend who is a chef and cooks amazing meals. So much for my grilled chicken with veggies or salad. I will do my best.
    I gained 0.6 last month

    Monday August 01 - 139.2 - Using last month's EW. A holiday in my Province today, but not a food holiday. I am working.
    Tuesday August 02 - 138.6 - Hoping to continue to see drops before my company arrives on Saturday so that I have a "cushion". Feeling pretty lean this morning.
    Wednesday August 03 - 139.0 - I had planned a cleanse for later in August, but Wild Rose has been discontinued. It is a bunch of herbs and a food plan. I do know the food columns of what to have 80% of each day etc. The herbs are organ specific. I will be looking into what else is available. Does anyone have a good kit that they use?
