Round 213 SW: 172.0 lb
My goals are to not eat my children's left overs and to give myself smaller portions for dinner.
2/1: 171.3 lb
Achieved my goals for the day.
2/2: 170.4 lb
Not sure why the sudden bigger drops in weight. It is unusual for me but I have just finished TOM. I expect my weight will level or it bounce up in the next few days. I have discovered dried apricots are relatively low calorie and I am enjoying having a few with my cup of tea. I always feel I need something with my tea so the apricots work well.
2/3: 170.0 lb
I was very inactive but stuck to my calorie budget.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

@quiltingjaine
Ah, thank you!
It's good to be here and be back. I've been on and off mfp for years, but ever since my second was born 2 years ago, I wasn't taking care of myself. Now that she's a bit older, I'm ready to get to work!
2/1 - Weight: 242 lbs, I think I did good today. I walked 4.5 miles at 3.5% incline on my treadmill. Ate mostly healthy foods and logged everything!
2/2 - Weight: 242.2 lbs, I usually do 2 days of exercise and 1 rest day. My weight tends to stall on my work out days and drop after my rest day, so I wasn't surprised by todays weight. I also worked out today, 4.8 miles at 3.5% incline. Having steak tonight! It's gonna be good >.<
2/3 - Weight: 242.2 lbs, Today was my rest day! Which was nice, but also I find rest days a little harder. Exercise + shower after kills time. Without it I can get bored and then the temptation to snack creeps in... So instead, when my daughter went down for her nap, I spent the time cleaning the kitchen instead! Time killer and when I went to make dinner, my kitchen was sparkling! So nice.

GOALS FOR THE NEXT 10 DAYS:
- Lose 1 pound
- Drink 8 cups of water per day
- Exercise 20 minutes per 10
2/1: Starting today at 247.8. The plan is to do a dance exercise via youtube when I get home from work. I'll update tomorrow on if I was successful at this.
2/2: I'm not going to weigh everyday, but I will weigh weekly. I did the exercise yesterday. And today I did a chair based cardio exercise which is good because I twisted my ankle. Apparently I can't walk and talk at the same time.
2/3: I did worse on the water today.

3rd Round
Age 53, 5β5β
Heaviest Weight: 345+ lbs (my highest known weight prior to gastric bypass in Aug 2005)
Weight in Aug 2006: 170 lbs
Weight in March 2022: 220 lbs
Weight beginning this Round: 150.6 lbs
Goal Weight: 145-150 lbs (TBD after consult with bariatric surgeonβs office on Feb 15th)
Thanks to @quiltingjaine for keeping these going! So very helpful!!
This week's daily goals: 5 mins affirmations before work; 10 mins meditation before bedtime. Also, continue to keep the habit of iron/supplements. Using the KISS principal this time aroundβ¦
2/1 β 150.6 lbs, took iron/supplements, missed my 5 mins affirmations, and felt too sleepy to do my meditation. Oops. I didnβt do very well with ANY of the goals I set last round. However, I am going to try to be more positive and point out that in my first round I was able to βkickβ ice-cream sammiches (phewf!) and over the course of two rounds I got really good at remembering to take my iron/supplements. Also, I seem to have lost 7 lbs in 20 days, so GO ME! I will focus on my accomplishments. π Anyway, I think I will change it up with my goals for this round. I will just focus in on 2 things that will be good for my mental health β I have been struggling, and February is never easy for me. In the last round @quiltingjaine wisely pointed out the connection between mood and weight loss. I think this is a very important observation!
2/2 β 150.0 lbs, took iron/supplements, did not do affirmations or meditation. Hmm. I seem to be a bit lax on this, even know I am fully aware that these activities very much do support my mental health. Let me try again tomorrow. As far as weight-loss, I guess I will try to lose another 5 lbs and then see if I can maintain between 145-150 lbs. I just realized that if I can get to 145, that will be a loss of 200 lbs when compared to my weight before weight-loss surgery in 2005. YIKES. I feel like the only way to maintain my loss is to keep logging my calories every day, for the rest of my life. Also, I have been taking Saxenda for quite some time now. I feel like I will have to explore the idea of continuing to take that as long as I can, because most people experience a huge rebound gain when they discontinue. And finally, if I can maintain this weight for at least a year, I will consider the idea of having more plastic surgery, such as my arms and the circumferential lift. I had an abdominoplasty and breast reduction in 2006 and a thigh reduction in 2007. But according to the plastic surgeon I still have about 10 lbs of excess skin to be removed. I also want a face lift, because I am very vain.
2/3 β 150.2 lbs, no iron, no supplements, no meditation or affirmations. βΉ

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 213 (my 145th). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine.
Goal for this round; I'm not looking at a specific number, instead I need to aim to cut out chocolate & biscuits 'cuz I can't stop at 1 or even 2, it startsme on a downward adictive spiral. So that and any loss is my aim.. No binges, keep within calories & macros.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 130. Healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

@clprieur
Congrats on goal!!! Hitting that 200lb milestone would push me to lose the extra 5, too. Haha. I've thought about how to maintain many times throughout my yo-yo journey.... not that I've ever come close to my goal weight.... but I know that I'll always have to track as well. Or perhaps I'll continue to weigh and have a weight range that I'll allow myself to fluctuate within. Idk how people do it.
Thanks so much! It is a bizarre thing, to tell the truth! I have never been at this weight (at least not since I was younger than 13 yo) and I am kind of weirded out! I will try my best to maintain... but I have gained and lost so many times that it is difficult to stay positive!!2 -

2/03 - 180.8 - Glad I got out for good walk yesterday as a polar vortex has hit Ontario...it's flippin -25C out there today (-35 with the wind chill), even the dog won't walk in this!! Made beef stroganoff in the crock pot for dinner last night, had mine over a pile of roasted cauliflower instead of noodles, it was delicious!!
This weather can go to hell and die. LOL. I am usually a big walker (and I have a very nervous rescue dog that needs a LOT of exercise) so this -25 stuff is the worst. Also, it is expensive, because I had to go clothes-shopping all day instead of walking!!

Yep, there it is. And itβs ok. This cold weather (14F right now) brings out my inner black bearβI want to eat and sleep! Iβve been doing lots of short training sessions with 12-week-old Booker (he thinks weβre playing) to direct his energy, and I got this cute pic yesterday. I wonder what heβs thinking about!

I've also changed my calorie goal to less than 1700, which is probably a little less than maintenance. I'll still shoot for 1200 to 1400, but I've learned that being ultra strict just backfires on me. In the past, if I went over 1200, I would feel like I failed and binge. Now, I finally learned that if you need to go over, then eat something with 100 to 200 calories - it's okay - you'll lose 1/2 a pound instead of a pound. I have no set end-goal except to care enough about myself to get healthy and stop the damage I'm causing from being unhealthy (or from "dieting" in an unhealthy way). π
I totally hear ya about the bingeing after restricting too hard. That is me, my entire life. Have recently been reading/listening to podcasts about "intuitive eating" (which does NOT mean "eat like a pig till you die", which was my initial assumption! LOL) and it talks about that pattern of binge/restrict. I cannot bring myself to embrace that way of eating entirely, but I do think that some of the ideas are helpful. I told my husband that it's like religion - I do not believe in it entirely, but there are some helpful ideas that I am trying to incorporate into my life.
For me, being more gentle with myself, and allowing myself to have more flexibility with my thought patterns, and to not be so rigid, has been very helpful for my mental health. And I have recently come to the conclusion that my mental health is just as, if not more so, important than being "skinny".
Good luck with getting where you want to be!!

2/1 158.0 Massive sugar cravings and low mood yesterday, which I gave in to, so I'm not surprised to see a small gain. Think it's hormones coming into play. TOTM this round so it will be interesting to see how that affects my weight and energy levels.
2/2 157.4 Still lots of cravings, which I gave into in the form of left over Christmas biscuits, gah. Didn't eat any proper food to make up for the indulgences, that's not the way to go.
2/3 157.4 Went to the pub last night with OH, which was unplanned, so calories ended up way over. It also didn't help that I came home and had ice cream and crisps, whoops! As a result I had a poor night's sleep so I feel like crap today, that'll learn me.
2/4 157.8 Well, I guess this little uptick is down to bad choices on Thursday and having a lazy day yesterday. Tiredness and sugar cravings are still causing issues.

I have a tendency to go low in iron (likely due to having had gastric bypass in 2005). I Googled a bit recently to see how I can incorporate more iron into my eating (as well as taking a supplement) and I found the following, which you may find helpful, if you are trying to increase iron intake:
Dried Apricots: 7.5 mg, 42% DV
Lentils: 6.6 mg, 37% DV
Spinach: 6.4 mg, 37% DV
Prunes: 4.6 mg, 26% DV
Kidney Beans: 5.2 mg, 29% DV
Sesame Seeds: 4.2 mg, 23% DV
Black Beans: 3.6 mg, 20% DV
Chocolate: 3.4 mg, 19% DV Dark chocolate (specifically 70 to 85 percent cocoa)
I use the chocolate as a treat (like you do with the apricots) and am SHOCKINGLY usually able to just eat 2 squares!!!!!
