Maintenance: 140-145 (December 2018)

My 31st Round!

According to MFP, this week marks the 365th day that I’ve logged in a row! Although I created my account 4 years ago when I weighed 188, I never followed through for more than a couple months. I’d hit a plateau at around 175, give up, and regain to the 180’s. Last year, after a terrible health scare with my husband, we decided to get in better shape. In March 2018, I started logging my weight and food daily again and made it to 174 when I got stuck at a plateau again in May. The difference this time is that I found this challenge. Seeing others going through the same things, showing support, and giving some great advice along with being accountable every day, gave me the push I needed to continue with my weight loss. This challenge got me through my plateau in the 170’s and then again in the 150’s. In the past year, aside from feeling better in my clothes, my blood pressure has dropped to normal without medication, my hip pain is gone, and my stamina has greatly increased. Along the way, I’ve discovered that I probably wouldn’t be able to maintain this loss without the daily accountability and logging. I try to make sure to “like”, “hug”, etc. every post, because I realize how important that’s been to me on this journey.

In summary, THANK YOU to all of you who have helped me get to a healthy weight, whether with a comment or a “like” or a “hug.” I could not have done it without you!

Day/Weight/Comment

03/04 – 144 – Back to weight loss calories for the work week.
03/05 – 143 – I’m glad to see the number go back down.
03/06 – 142.5 – I had a stress snack attack at work yesterday, so I munched on some popcorn and had a handful of mixed nuts. It’s better than going for the cookies and chocolate in the break room, which is exactly how I’ve dealt with it in the past. My desk is stuffed full of healthier snack choices, I just need to make sure I’m not overeating the healthy snacks.
03/07 – 142 – It’s been a few weeks since I’ve seen this number.

I'm the same! I tend to plateau at 202 and hover up and back down maybe 5lbs. I'm 5'11 though so this is not my ideal weight at all, probs ideal is around 170 so it's so annoying

Calories weren't ideal yesterday but I pulled out my old fitbits (couple of them are broken, one is fine except battery won't last all day) and figured it'd be a good start. Water was good. Can maybe up it, too. Going to try to ease back into the gym here and there now that weather is better and my back isn't acting up so much in the cold.

03/04: 250lbs | just starting back at MFP and the gym. I expect to see a big loss this week from the sudden change in diet and exercise. **Edit: changed original weigh-in as I'd guessed at first and then actually weighed myself

03/05: 246.6lbs (-3.4 lbs) | again, expected as I'm just getting back in it with a lot of weight to lose. Did a 30 minute cardio yesterday and walked throughout the day. Kept my calories in range. Doing good!

03/06: 246.6 lbs (-3.4 lbs) | no change, but I kept off those 3 lbs, so I'm happy. Keeping up with my workouts and eating right

03/07: 244.8 lbs (-5.2 lbs) | keeping on keeping on. Working out and eating right. I know these dramatic drops are short-lived so I'm enjoying the numbers for the moment

Day/Weight/Comment

03/04: 312.50 (+4.00) - Not a surprise or a worry. I'm having severe fatigue issues right now, I treated myself to whatever I wanted from a fish and chip shop yesterday evening, a lot of deep fried food, a lot of salt, and overall an extremely heavy evening meal. Expected a gain today. Still feel full from it! Kept it light until then, so only came in around maintainance. Planning the same today calorie-wise for my sanity, and in the hopes a small refeed may help my fatigue. This is my pill free week so I'm more prone to gaining and holding water during it, I have no idea how I'll do this week, I'll make sure I'm under maintainance, otherwise I'm not too worried, although I'd like to go back to my defecit tomorrow. I won't allow myself over and regaining weight, losing it is best for my health in the long run! But fatigue always makes me very hungry, hence the sanity side of a refeed. Tricky balance at times.
03/05: 312.25 (-0.25) - Expected higher, high calories yesterday and I feel bloated. Shark week issues. Overall ok.
03/06: 310.00 (-2.25) - Feel bloated as anything so I checked this multiple times. I expect I'll have a small Woosh sometime soon though, when any period water weight eases off (plus TMI, my digestive system has come to a standstill), getting under 308 is so near, it's almost frustrating!
03/07: 311.00 (+1.00) - Bounce. Realised dealing with my Grandma is one of my comfort eating triggers, which is depressing. She has dementia issues, sometimes even a basic conversation is getting impossible now some days. I love her, it's hard work though caring for her though. Dad does most of it, but he's disabled and not very well right now. Worries me that I'll be moving away soon too.

I'm back at it again! I used to do these challenges back in 2017 and lost over 30 pounds but then life happened and I fell off the wagon and gained it all back. I am hoping to lose a total of 60 pounds over the next year and this keeps me accountable!
Goal weight: 140-150
Short-term goal: Be under 200 by April 1st

Day/Weight/Comment
03/04 207.8 just like riding a bike - getting back to eating better and moving more. It's all a matter of deciding to do it!
03/05 207 I feel bloated this morning. I should try to stop eating by 7 or 8 pm.
03/06 - 205.4 I got some weird sickness yesterday around 2pm with fever, body aches, chills so I haven't eaten anything since 1pm - hence the big weight drop. Today I'm almost back to 100% but still no appetite. Oh and now it's my TOM soo... That would be where the bloating came from yesterday!
03/07 - 204.6 I still didn't have much of an appetite yesterday and today is looking to be the same.

There are lots of cookies and muffins around -- this is bad! It's interesting -- if you just say "oh, I can't eat that!" and laugh, it's kind of empowering. I am in control of what I eat... no one else.

OSW: 252

Round 69 SW: 211.6

03/04—211.8—Had a hungry day yesterday, but also an exercise-filled day. My head is fine (I smacked it hard yesterday on the tailgate of my car). This is gonna be a good week.

03/05—211.4—Another rather hungry day, though I was able to keep my calories in a good place. I hate the cold, but I took a nice long walk yesterday while it was in the thirties. I felt fairly invigorated, but I probably won't do that again today.

03/06—212.8—Not a concerning bump for several reasons. 1. Bumps happen; 2. I had a Frosty yesterday; 3. This was an early weigh-in; 4. My digestive system is positively wonky! Still having a good week, though I'm terribly sleepy this moment as I sit at my desk and attempt to write regulatory comments!

03/07—212.6—Tummy troubles continue to plague me and work continues to be very busy. But things are otherwise looking very spiffy! We're in the middle of planning a trip to Ireland in late May that's going to be fabulous.

Hi-I’m Karen
Sept. 2018 OSW 187 (Was my Round #1)
UGW 135.....yes, 135!
Goal this round-159-hopefully!

3/4-166-Birthday cake and ice cream for dinner with our widowed friend. (All of our kids are grown and gone.)I knew I was going to feel awful, so I had milk with protein powder and some peanut butter....Our friend is very trim and fit and I never see her eat crap like that, but yesterday was her exception, and we happily joined in. I got her flowers (because I see how healthy she eats)and her sister in law brought her a cake and ice cream and I realized what a wonderful gesture that was because I realized nobody else provided her with a cake and she is a mom. I realized then, that “every mom deserves a cake”.
3/5-162-That is a swoosh I had been expecting. I ate sensibly yesterday and got to walk in the morning and evening.
3/6-165-Salty soup and salad dressing. More rain, so I have to get out walking soon.

3/7-162-I got down to this last round. That is 25 pounds since I started in September. I just want to encourage anyone who is struggling: Please don’t give up! It all takes time, just as we did not gain our weight over night, we can’t lose it all over night. I love looking back at how much everyone else weighed & lost and it gives me hope to keep going.

You people are the only people on earth who know how much I weigh!
I’m glad you are all here!!!
Let’s have a great round!!!

SW 239 LB
GW 235 LB
Probably can do better as I am just starting to work out/loss weight but want to be honest with myself and a goal I know I can meet. Real goal even more so then the weight loss is to get my lazy butt to the gym at least 4 days a week.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/04 - 237.7 LB - Snow shoveling for 30 minutes planing 30 minutes run later tonight.
03/05 - 236.7 LB -Planing to do another 30 minutes run today. So far so good I know this is a lot of water weight but its great seeing it drop so fast even knowing its going to slow down soon.
03/06 - 236.00 No plans to do a workout today. however because of all the water weight I am losing I am setting a new goal to 232. Figure 5 LB of water weight and 2~3 of real weight loss.
03/07 - 235.3 - did no cardio yesterday. Today planing to do a light cardio 15 minutes following up with some light weight training(first time in years! can not wait)
