Hi! I’m Rebecca from Missouri, 43, currently 274 lbs. Heaviest weight ever 285. I recently started doing Intermittent Fasting 18:6.
January goals:
Fast 18 hours (or more) per day. Lose at least 8 lbs this month.
Jan 2: 21 hour fast plus a great hike. Around 1500 calories total.
Jan 3: 270 lbs. -4 lbs! I know it’s likely just water weight, but still! I fasted for 18.5 hours today and am hoping to get a walk in this evening.
Jan 4: didn’t weigh in. Did a 19.5 hour fast and I’m trying to drink water. The big success today was pushing myself to take a lunch break and go for a walk. It was cold and I was super busy at work but went out and walked 2.5 miles.
Jan 5: weighed in at 269. 19 hour fast. I have a cold and feel crummy today. No exercise and I I indulged in an absolutely delicious dessert my wife baked. But I didn’t over-indulge.
January 15: wow, it’s been 10 days since I checked in! I was hit with a horrible flu and have been miserable for a couple of weeks. I’m finally feeling better and ready to focus on eating right and exercise! I look forward to reading through all the posts I’ve missed to get caught up on everyone’s progress!
Jan 15 PM: did OMAD today and got in a hike but sprained my foot! Yet another hurdle!
Jan 16: 19.5 hour fast which I broke with a well-balanced dinner. My foot is feeling sore. I have a boot to help me walk for a few days. I’m supposed to start a yoga/Pilates class tomorrow so we’ll see how that goes. I haven’t weighed in for a couple of weeks so I need to try and remember to do that tomorrow.
Jan 17: weighed in at 267 so down 7 lbs this month! Only fasted 16 hours but ate well and was able to mostly participate in Pilates class despite my sore foot.
Jan 18: 266 lbs! Another 16 hour fast today.
Jan 19: 19 hr fast, stayed under calorie goal.
Jan 20: 265 lbs, 19 hr fast, was super hungry today and ate over my calories.
Jan 21-22: didn’t weigh in or count calories this weekend. Back on track tomorrow!
Jan 24: did 18 hour fasts yesterday and today and weighed in at 263 lbs! 11lbs lost this month!
Jan 25: 261! I was so happy to see that number! I never did one of these MFP challenges before and I really appreciate the accountability. Tomorrow is my bday and I will be enjoying some treats (free Starbucks and a steak dinner out with my wife) but I don’t think that will derail things.
Jan 28: had a couple of days of birthday indulgence but did a 20 hour fast today and got a nice walk in. I realized my math is wrong. My goal was to lose 8 lbs this month and I started at 274 so I believe I have surpassed this goal! I imagine water weight is part of things but I think I can say I’ve lost a good 10 lbs this month, which is wonderful! I’ll weigh in over the next couple of days to confirm.
Jan 29: 19.5 hour fast, great day, kept under calorie plan.2 -
Happy New Year! I am a mid-40's female who is 5'4" tall, a 2x cancer survivor with Hypothyroidism who is returning to MFP for accountability and to help track the effect of medication and weight. There is a lot of change and stress in my life right now and I am need to replace overeating and drinking soda as my stress reliever with other coping strategies. A star will track when I stayed under my daily caloric goal.

01/28-197.8-(Trend Weight 197.7)-
01/29-195.6-(Trend Weight 197.5)- I was over a good bit on both the calories and the carbs yesterday although all the food choices were good ones. Mixed nuts (too many) put me over. I won’t be buying them again. These were leftover from a previous purchase over a week ago. Gone Now!!! I pre-portioned but I just can’t stop at one snack baggie. I’m better off sticking to the almonds. Nonetheless, a wonderful WHOOSH today on the scale that I hope is reflective of the benefits of prelogging food, drinking the water, 30 minutes or more of exercise daily and good general meal choices. DD went home so today should be a day without the temptations. I finally dropped below the challenge starting weight and I plan on running with it. Travel Mon, Tue and Wed. Hopefully good choices and portion control are on the horizon. I woke up starving this morning so I’m not eating a damn thing until the hunger stabilizes (which will happen after a couple of hours). If I eat now, I would probably overeat, so IF is in order today. I changed up my macros yesterday. I thought I had my carbs set at 100 but they were actually set for 140 (even though I was not hitting that high in my diet). I've now got them set to the top end of 90 and will slowly tweak from there. After reading the @quiltingjaine article from another challenge, I am going to start checking WHICH artificial sweetner some of my foods may have as it clearly matters to my glucose levels. I am going to look into monk fruit also.
01/30-194.8-(Trend Weight 197.2)- Whoosh! I’m very happy today and I plan on not allowing my travel for the next 3 days to upend my progress. Gotta stay strong!

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

1/9/23- 204.4 lbs elliptical 46 minutes
1/10/22-201.6 lbs elliptical 47 minutes
1/11/22-203.6 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
1/13/22-204.6 lbs work day
1/14/22-205.4 lbs on call today, My Elliptical Interval setting, 120 minutes 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.
1/15/22-202.4 lbs Elliptical Interval setting, 120 minutes, 8.1 miles
1/16/23-202.2 lbs work day
1/17/23-200.4 lbs work day
1/18/23-200.4 lbs work day
1/19/23-199.4 lbs Down 14 lbs since 1/1/23. Finally back to Onederland!!!! Elliptical Interval setting 150 minutes for 9.7 miles. Getting my motivation back, Thank you God!
1/20/23-200.2 lbs Ugh! Had Ham last night and probably the next couple too. :-( Elliptical Interval setting, 150 minutes for 9.92 miles.
1/21/23-203.4 lbs. Work day, Double Ugh! The HAM! I stayed under calories. So maybe in a few days I'll have a whoosh, I hope. I Just need to stay on track. It's easier to do that when you see progress on the scale going down instead of up. But I KNOW it is the sodium. Off tomorrow so I'll have an elliptical session.
1/22/23-200.2 lbs Off today. Elliptical Interval setting 150 minute session for 10.05 miles. Can't say enough how much I Love my new Elliptical!!!
1/23/23-200.2 lbs Work day Most likely won't get back on my elliptical till Friday. I work M-Th this week.
1/24/23-203.2 lbs Work day
1/25/23-203.2 lbs Work day
1/26/23-205.8 lbs Ugh! Work day Off Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Forward to February!

Hi! I’m Rebecca from Missouri, 43, currently 274 lbs. Heaviest weight ever 285. I recently started doing Intermittent Fasting 18:6.
January goals:
Fast 18 hours (or more) per day. Lose at least 8 lbs this month.
Jan 2: 21 hour fast plus a great hike. Around 1500 calories total.
Jan 3: 270 lbs. -4 lbs! I know it’s likely just water weight, but still! I fasted for 18.5 hours today and am hoping to get a walk in this evening.
Jan 4: didn’t weigh in. Did a 19.5 hour fast and I’m trying to drink water. The big success today was pushing myself to take a lunch break and go for a walk. It was cold and I was super busy at work but went out and walked 2.5 miles.
Jan 5: weighed in at 269. 19 hour fast. I have a cold and feel crummy today. No exercise and I I indulged in an absolutely delicious dessert my wife baked. But I didn’t over-indulge.
January 15: wow, it’s been 10 days since I checked in! I was hit with a horrible flu and have been miserable for a couple of weeks. I’m finally feeling better and ready to focus on eating right and exercise! I look forward to reading through all the posts I’ve missed to get caught up on everyone’s progress!
Jan 15 PM: did OMAD today and got in a hike but sprained my foot! Yet another hurdle!
Jan 16: 19.5 hour fast which I broke with a well-balanced dinner. My foot is feeling sore. I have a boot to help me walk for a few days. I’m supposed to start a yoga/Pilates class tomorrow so we’ll see how that goes. I haven’t weighed in for a couple of weeks so I need to try and remember to do that tomorrow.
Jan 17: weighed in at 267 so down 7 lbs this month! Only fasted 16 hours but ate well and was able to mostly participate in Pilates class despite my sore foot.
Jan 18: 266 lbs! Another 16 hour fast today.
Jan 19: 19 hr fast, stayed under calorie goal.
Jan 20: 265 lbs, 19 hr fast, was super hungry today and ate over my calories.
Jan 21-22: didn’t weigh in or count calories this weekend. Back on track tomorrow!
Jan 24: did 18 hour fasts yesterday and today and weighed in at 263 lbs! 11lbs lost this month!
Jan 25: 261! I was so happy to see that number! I never did one of these MFP challenges before and I really appreciate the accountability. Tomorrow is my bday and I will be enjoying some treats (free Starbucks and a steak dinner out with my wife) but I don’t think that will derail things.
Jan 28: had a couple of days of birthday indulgence but did a 20 hour fast today and got a nice walk in. I realized my math is wrong. My goal was to lose 8 lbs this month and I started at 274 so I believe I have surpassed this goal! I imagine water weight is part of things but I think I can say I’ve lost a good 10 lbs this month, which is wonderful! I’ll weigh in over the next couple of days to confirm.
Jan 29: 19.5 hour fast, great day, kept under calorie plan.
Jan 31: 259 my goal was to lose 8 lbs this month and I lost 15! From 274 to 259. It was a rough month- I was sick with the flu, sprained my foot, definitely did not get a lot of exercise, and this challenge really helped me see the big picture and not get discouraged. Thank you, all.4 -

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.

01/31-194.8-(Trend Weight 197.0)- I had a horrible binge last night on my “diet foods” that ended up putting me at over 3000 calories and over 200 carbs, Amazingly, my weight stayed the same after fervent prayer before weighing in. I know it can show up a day or two later so I’m not feeling super confident yet. This was self-sabotage because of my recent weight drops and because of the final weigh in this morning for another challenge I participate in. My self-sabotage has got to stop. I deserve to do well and to be healthier. On a good note, I made my 5 lb loss goal this month exactly. I haven’t done that since I can’t remember! I am proud of me for that.

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. :-(

1/11/22-203.6 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
1/13/22-204.6 lbs work day
1/14/22-205.4 lbs on call today, My Elliptical Interval setting, 120 minutes 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.
1/15/22-202.4 lbs Elliptical Interval setting, 120 minutes, 8.1 miles

1/21/23-203.4 lbs. Work day, Double Ugh! The HAM! I stayed under calories. So maybe in a few days I'll have a whoosh, I hope. I Just need to stay on track. It's easier to do that when you see progress on the scale going down instead of up. But I KNOW it is the sodium. Off tomorrow so I'll have an elliptical session.
1/22/23-200.2 lbs Off today. Elliptical Interval setting 150 minute session for 10.05 miles. Can't say enough how much I Love my new Elliptical!!!

Happy New Year! I am a mid-40's female who is 5'4" tall, a 2x cancer survivor with Hypothyroidism who is returning to MFP for accountability and to help track the effect of medication and weight. There is a lot of change and stress in my life right now and I am need to replace overeating and drinking soda as my stress reliever with other coping strategies. A star will track when I stayed under my daily caloric goal.

02/01-194.6-(Trend Weight 196.7)- It’s a short month but I will not lower my expectations for myself. I want the next five pounds gone! That would literally be finding me dipping my smallest pinkie toe into the warm welcoming waters of the 180’s (189.8). What a dream! It’s sink or swim!
