    @swimmom_1 Marvelous progress! <3

    Like I've been saying my body just can't burn carbs for some reason. Drives me crazy. Going to bring it up to my PCP come my yearly. Something is off.

    My name is Mary, 65 from Pennsylvania. I'm a RN and work long days.
    Been MIA for a few months but still logging in everyday since I started MFP 5/14/21.

    Unfortunately lost my mojo and gained a lot back but not all Thank God! Need to get back on track and focused. I bought a NEW to me, gently used, Commercial PreCor EFX 835 Elliptical. It was delivered the beginning of November, as others here know I wore my previous 10+ year old one out from my extensive workouts. Stopped using it mid November to get my Christmas shopping done earlier than my norm. I was planning to start back up a week ago but had a GI bug and very weak. I restarted today but very slow at 45 minutes and 3 miles compared to my 3 hour historical workout sessions. I will MAYBE workup to it again.

    Heaviest weight 255 lbs, twice. :-(
    9/14/20-255 lbs
    5/14/21-232.2 lbs MFP start date.
    4/6/22- 147.6 lbs (107.4 lbs lost) I did NOT have a surgery. Did Keto.
    8/1/22- 167.2 lbs
    12/1/22-198 lbs

    1/1/23- 213.4 lbs
    1/2/23- 213.4 lbs
    1/3/23- 207.4 lbs
    1/4/23- 205.8 lbs
    1/5/23- 205.8 lbs
    1/6/23- 201.4 lbs
    1/7/23- 202.4 lbs
    1/8/23- 204.4 lbs elliptical 45 minutes Interval setting
    1/9/23- 204.4 lbs elliptical 46 minutes Interval setting
    1/10/23-201.6 lbs elliptical 47 minutes Interval setting
    1/11/23-203.6 lbs Not sure why the uptick. I stayed on track yesterday with my carbs/calories. I worked today. For new people I don't workout on work days. I'm a RN and work long days. That's why I used to do long elliptical sessions on my days off. To makeup for my work days. I work 4 days/week, 10+ hours.
    1/12/23-203.8 lbs work day
    1/13/23-204.6 lbs work day
    1/14/23-205.4 lbs on call today, My Elliptical 120 minutes, Interval setting straight through this AM!!! 8.5 miles. Getting back up to my long sessions. Maybe I wasn't out of Cardiovascular endurance, as I thought. The previous sessions I wore a short sleeve shirt instead of a tank top as I did today again. (It's chilly in my basement.) Even though I had a fan on, maybe I just got to warm, which wore me down.
    1/15/23-202.4 lbs My official weigh in day, My Elliptical, Interval setting, 120 minutes straight through again this AM, 8.1 miles.
    1/19/23-199.4 lbs!!!! Finally Onederland again! 14 lbs down since 1/1/23. Off today. Did Elliptical Interval setting, 150 minutes for 9.7 miles. Getting my motivation back! Making a ham tonight so next few days will probably not be good. At least it will just be water weight from the sodium.
    1/20/23-200.2 lbs off today Elliptical 150 minutes on Interval setting, 9.82 miles
    1/21/23-203.4 lbs work day
    1/22/23-200.2 lbs Off today Elliptical Interval setting 150 minutes for 10.05 miles Hopefully a whoosh after the ham is used up!

    1/29/23-210.4 lbs :-( Elliptical Interval setting 150 minutes, Friday, Saturday and today, each day about 10 miles.

    I signed up for Noom. 7 day trial- I'm going to do this for 6 days and then decide. It would then cost $160 for 7 months which is not too bad. I will determine.

    Key takeaways:
    weigh every day
    record food (of course)
    Listen to these psychology videos they have
    Weighing every day is a good idea. I actually weigh myself several times a day, just before eating. That helps with looking at the scale as the measuring device it is and not as some type of devil. It also helps with determining one's true weight thanks to an abundance of measuring points.

    My name is Donna. I am 62 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall.


    CHALLENGE TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: Total Loss of 15 pounds to land at 182.8
    CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT (FROM Oct 31): 197.8
    CHALLENGE ENDING WEIGHT: 194.8



    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s


    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.



    11/01-199.8-(Trend Weight: 200.2)-

    11/07-198.8-(Trend Weight: 199.9)-

    11/30-196.2-(Trend Weight: 197.8)-


    Nov Start: 197.8
    Nov Actual: 196.2
    Nov Goal: (5 pound loss) 192.8

    Cumulative Weight Loss so Far: 1.6 lbs. LOST

    01/09-200.0-(Trend Weight: 199.4)-

    01/16-198.8-(Trend Weight: 198.7)-

    01/23-198.2-(Trend Weight: 197.8)- My homemade soup eaten two days in a row really hurt the bottom line. I actually find that quite surprising. Today, the rest goes in the freezer in smaller portions for some other time when I need a quick dinner. Smaller portions are in order perhaps? I travel this week on Mon, Tue, Wed and Fri of this week. That affects my ability to take my water pill so that is not going to help either. It’s going to be a tough week but I got this! Staying positive…..

    01/30-194.8-(Trend Weight: 197.2)- It’s been a long week of working really hard at this. It’s paying off. I think pre-logging my food is helping the most. It really helps me stick to my menu. Good choices also helps me to get in more volumes of food so I’m not super hungry. All my “diets” work UNTIL the moment I get hungry……. Carefully planning is key for me right now. Travel this week is Mon, Tue, Wed. I’ve got to plan for this and not go off the rails. I think I can do it. The weight loss this week has made me feel strong and capable. I hope these feelings stick! I am EXACTLY at my January goal (5 lb loss) and I am going to be careful today as my last weigh-in is tomorrow (last day of the month).

    01/31-194.8-(Trend Weight: 197.0)-I exactly made my 5 lb goal of weight loss this month. That is is 1st time in a very very long time. However, I am a million miles away from my goal for the total challenge. My desire to get healthier and to look and feel better is pretty strong right now. Last night I had a MAJOR set-back which did not hurt my bottom line this morning because God is Good. I know, of course, it can take a day or two to show up but I am praying that it will be okay. Today will be a banner day. Travel was cancelled for today so that will help. I will see you all in the next challenge. I am really proud of everyone who keeps showing up and never gives up on their personal goals and their dreams.


    Jan Start: 199.8
    Jan Actual: 194.8
    Jan Goal: (5 pound loss) 194.8

    Cumulative Weight Loss so Far: 3 lb LOSS
