I really don't like how my body works. If I eat 1100 calories or less, I'll lose. If I eat more than that, I gain. I was hungrier than usual so eating 1100 or less wasn't cutting it. I ate between 1500 and 1800 each day but am up almost 4 pounds.4 -

Some weeks I impress myself with my steps. I did get in zumba and a walk this week. This was also the childcare center that I work at, it was our first week of school. We were busy. I was up and down stairs all week, so maybe that counts as a workout. Today I was up early and off to zumba, just finished cleaning my house now i want to organize my cabinets, I went and bought a ton of bins. I just feel so out of sorts lately. Last week I worked on the snack cabinet. I had my husband rip out the slider with the metal shelves and we added some wood shelves and you can now see what's in there. I feel like we are always going and never home so I refuse to leave today and will get things done. My granddaughters started soccer yesterday. because they are not 3 yet it is a parent participation class. It was really cute to go watch. I swore to myself I wasn't going to go every week because I need me time but after watching yesterday I'm sure I will be there every week.3

😭 I just want to give up...I don't want to just stop checking in completely and saying when I'm ready to lose this weight for real, I'll come back and do it because I'm only getting older and I don't want to, "put it off" so to speak, and come back later. Yes, I'm struggling with a lot of other things, but also making progress in so many areas as well, I want this to be one of them! Going to try to use my diary on here and stay within my calories for a whole week, I just know if I can start keeping up with that again, that I can lose this weight like I've done before! Ugh, I have a headache now!

Nice to see my name on the leader board. Don't know how I lost the weight but 140s here I come. On the health front I have not had a treatment in six weeks as the doctor was trying to decide what to do. I am not a good candidate for the pump implant so decided to try a chemo/immunotherapy combo. I read a report on a study that it can add 2 or more years to life expectancy. So maybe I'll get to see my grandkids graduate college!
Let's keep up the good work and we will get thete!8 -

Except for oral surgery day I did 10k+ a day and I am very pleased with that. With outside temperatures cooler in here it is easier for me to walk more. And school resumed so I walk my kiddo to and from school every day - that adds about 3k steps a day.2 -

Hi All,
Ah, that's really nice to see my name on the leaderboard, that realyl does push me to make a bit more effort next week!
So my next weigh wasn't the best, but it could have been worse! Time to step it up again now!
Starting Date: 24/07/2022
Starting Weight: 201 lbs
Previous weight: 188.1lbs
Current Date: 09/09/2022
Current Weight: 188.6 lbs (up 0.5lbs)
Lost to date: 12.3 lbs

That's not too great, but I know why it happened. I have been a bit relaxed with myself for a week or so, as my husband and I are trying for a baby, and to be honest that was all I could concentrate on for that week. I am back to it now this week, I promise! 🙏🏼
Steps so far this week are;
4,146 - Sunday 4th
19,666 - Monday 5th
16,816 - Tuesday 6th

September Week Two
Previous Weight: 175.8 lbs
Current Weight: 174.8 lbs
Loss to Date: 59.2 lbs
In the name of transparency, this was my weight from Sunday, after working out but before consuming a full meal. While I did step on the scale yesterday morning, and this morning, the muscle recovery bloat is all too real, and my brain would not do well with sharing a near 8 lb gain. I am tempted to move my weigh day, but I am still struggling to determine which day would work for me best. That being said, I am noting my weight every single day, regardless of when I weigh in, and will hopefully find one that feels the least connected to muscle recovery bloat, or sodium bloat, or...
I'm trying to focus more on what my body can do than what it weighs, but it's more of a challenge as of lately, especially since I haven't had any significant loss at all this year, and I'm all too aware that it's almost autumn. Sure, I can deadlift my own body weight, and hold a plank for over seven minutes, but that number on the scale is haunting. Have I recently received an inappropriate comment about my shoulder muscle? Yes. But also, I'm heavier than I was when I left for France, and something inside me very much wants to get back to that, regardless of how unhappy that person was.
All that said, the past week was pretty good from a health perspective. I'm on a regular gym schedule, I'm eating less junk, my energy levels are high. If I can hold onto that momentum, maybe my above complaints will take more of a backseat.4 -

🫢I’m shocked and excited to finally see the scale move the way I want. I’ve been weighing myself daily and the fluctuations are crazy!!!
Seeing this will help me to make better decisions for the weekend for sure! And I’m sure this week’s challenge of moving everyday has had an impact, clearly something I should continue 💕

Maintain is good. We'll see what happens after my treatment restarts tomorrow. Usually they give me so much fluids I bloat for a week. I am also getting IV iron since the last chemo obviously played havoc with my levels. And I am feeling so much better since the last treatment seven weeks ago. Guess I needed a break. I am getting a new combo of drugs - chemo plus immunotherapy which showed great results in a study.
You fellow "steppers" are reaching some awesome numbers. Hoping I can start moving and walking more next week.4 -

I'm happy with this loss! I feel like my body is adjusting to low carb so things are going to slow down weight wise, and I am now going on over four weeks being free of acid reflux! That to me is such a massive blessing!!2 -

Thank you! I'm really proud of everything I've accomplished. Been at this for over five years now, I'm glad I have something to show for it. Proof that it's really the smallest things that make the biggest difference.bumpbreakcar wrote: »Second, hold on!!!! if you know you’re making healthier choices you will become healthier, and the scale will eventually drop!

Sometimes it's incredibly difficult to practice what I preach. Thanks for the reminder, I appreciate the support

Not to seem ungrateful for any amount of weight loss, but I was really hoping to be out of the 180's today. I kept stepping off and back onto the scale hoping it would drop by just 1/10th of a pound. Oh well, I'm still thrilled to hit the 50 lbs lost threshold.
Have a wonderful week!

Sorry for my absence recently. I've been really busy at work and just keep losing track of days and time. Everything just gets away from me.3 -
Good morning WNM! Welcome to all the new ladies & gents!
I'm Melanie and I'm from Kansas. I’m the other team Co-captain. Truly, Ashley does most of the heavy lifting.
My (short version) story
I was always was skinny (no, not thin, skinny, all knees and elbows). At 18, I weighed between 110 and 120 at 5"6'. Maybe. I got happy. Then I got fat. I found myself weighing in about 230 and my six sixteens were too small. I bought a couple pairs of 18 pants from the thrift store and joined MFP.
I lost ~70 pounds in about a year and was pretty pleased. But I wanted another 20 off...and it didn't move. And things got a bit crazy with my husband's family (we won’t talk about that—it always leads to crazy-pants ranting)...so I decided to maintain for a bit. Instead of maintaining, I gained back most of the weight. So...now I'm here and working on losing 60 pounds (40 of the 50 I 'found' and the 20 I never lost).
My special snowflake challenges
I'm fairly significantly asthmatic (on meds all the time), have terrible allergies and connective tissue issues (not enough collagen, too stretchy, lots of joint slippage). The past year has been difficult for me because of the slippy joints—one of my shoulders slipped, refused to relocate and…well.
August 2020, I acquired some vertigo problems (or, maybe they just got worse). After adding some meds, adjusting my diet a bit, and stopping coffee (so sad), I’ve got it mostly under control, with only intermittent episodes. Needless to say, if I'm dizzy, I'm not walking or doing anything else. Positive: since my neurologist recommended I take 500 mg of ginger every day, I have not had a significant dizzy spell—no extended can’t stand up, no puking…only a couple 30 seconds-2-3 minute dizzy that passes.
The point behind saying this is not woe-is-me, it is that a lot of exercise people promote is bad (anything high impact), and sometimes dangerous, for me. Sometimes people get down on themselves because they don't do the stuff everyone talks about HIIT, Insanity, stair steppers, etc. I not only don't do those things, I shouldn't. But I should exercise.
I want to get about 30 minutes of walking a day at least during the week and because I have to walk to and from my car for work and all around the building to get to anyone I need to see or the ladies’, I usually get 15-20 by default. I try to get a walk in otherwise but frequently fail. Weekends are a mixed bag.
Daily goals:
• Walk at least 30 minutes a day. (I plan to start participating in the step challenge again)
• Do some core exercises, joint support stuff a couple times at least a week.
• 80 oz of water or non-alcoholic liquid a day, mostly water.
• Cut down on sugar and junk food.
I want to congratulate all our losers for August! Small losses add up. Don’t get discouraged if you ‘only’ lose half a pound or pound. I am super proud of all of you! 😊 And several of you have maintained, which is terrific, too. Not seeing losses or not seeing the losses you want can be disheartening. Don’t give up! Think of all the things you have accomplished…you can do anything you put your mind to!
Welcome to the team newbies! Looking forward to getting to know you all!
