I think going back on IF plus putting my food intake back to 1200 allowed calories and eating back some of my workout calories is what helped me bring this back down by 5 lbs this week. I’m gonna stick to this plan through next month and hopefully continue to manage some small losses or at least maintain.
This past week I went in to see my surgeon (Tuesday) and he isn’t happy at all with the progress of the hematoma that developed after my anchor tummy tuck. It’s still quite large and bulging and as it’s now been 9 weeks, he’s ready to try something a bit more invasive to fix this problem. I go into outpatient surgery next Wednesday to remove all the fluid and gunk buildup that is there. Hopefully this will flatten my tummy properly and my issues with this hematoma will finally be over. The bad thing is my recovery will now be longer than I’d hope so I don’t think I’ll be able to take my kids to the pool any time this summer 😭. It’s something we were all looking forward to doing together all summer long.
WTG Mari! But you are even better than you thought. You only put on 5.4 last week, not 5.9, and now lost 5. Straighten up that crown, oh queen of F2F!
Sad about the hematoma, though. Hopefully the draining of the thing will make it all better, in spite of needing a bit more recovery time. You need a pool with the crazy heat wave over there - but at least you can dangle in your feet and watch the kids get cool, I hope!1 -
@matthewsfive FANTASTIC LOSS!!
I know there were many others with amazing/inspiring losses too. Congratulations!
@Andreabroadley Sending healing thoughts for your hubby. Hope with each day he feels even stronger. Be sure to take care of yourself too. That’s important. ❤️
@mari_moulin congratulations on that huge loss and those are some incredible step numbers. Sorry that this hematoma is giving you trouble, but hopefully this will take care of it once and for all. ❤️
@evangsimmons170 Our lives present so many dietary challenges. And we sometimes get “tired” of being so good and just want to treat ourselves and enjoy the moment. (That was for me too.) I am confident you will do fine, even if today’s weigh in is not what you want. Your passion, dedication, and determination will get you there.
@jugar thanks for always being so supportive and encouraging. Also, that math on the Merry go round is hard. Lol 😂 I’m just going to grab your hand.
I am checking in and will each day. I am so off the wagon, I can’t even see it. July is a new month! A month to lose and correct the movement of my weight loss trend. It needs to move downward, not stay about the same for TWO months. That’s part of my resistance. I know it.
I am trying to figure out if I’m just tired of logging or I’m not logging because my eating has been so random. I have been eating random stuff, so as not to waste food. It’s not awful, but feels cumbersome to record all the little things.
So, this week, I will get back to that wagon. And
•record my water
•get 8,000+ steps a day
•log all of my food
•eat within my calories
•intentional exercise at least three x
I’ve grabbed onto your hands. I’m getting on that Merry go round. ❤️🖐🏻🖐🏻❤️

Welcome back aboard the insanely spinning wagon! I know I often fudge or skip logging when I am not eating what I consider to be healthy and good. I find it hard to acknowledge "bad" eating on the log - just leaving it in the head does not work though, so we both shall commit to logging every bite, ok? Even if it is not what we would rather be eating, it is what we ARE eating. It takes a bit of extra time to find the foods/ingredients/correct versions of everything, but it is worth the few minutes it takes. I use the scan thing for ingredients that come in a package with a bar code (this is one of the best mfp mobile app features), but otherwise just put in every danged ingredient of even the most random eating. You can do it!! We are not letting go!1 -

Thanks again for your good wishes, everyone.
A couple of days ago, my husband started to change his eating to the DASH diet plan.
Quite a change for him. Although he did not have high blood pressure before the heart attack, the hospital has told him this is the diet for coronary artery disease and high blood pressure.
https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/files/docs/public/heart/dash_brief.pdf
The key difference is that can't really eat refined carbs, and the amount of meat is very low for him. Only 6 oz per day! He is also to eat less added fat than he was before. He eats vegetables, but is not much of a fruit eater. Made it to 2 fruits yesterday, he needs to get to 4 per day.
It is pretty different from what I am doing, which is more like the Zone Diet. So I am going to have to juggle a bit.1 -

@Andreabroadley I'm so glad your husband's health is improving. I've heard that the DASH diet is great all around. So maybe prepping and cooking will get easier over time. You may find a happy medium between your 2 diets after all. 🙂3 -

I actually did not gain!! Wow! So happy about that. Well, I guess I have maintenance down 😂. Now to lose some weight. Here I come July.
Saturday steps still in progress.

Great progress! Still 5 weigh-ins to come, but things are looking good and green.
@Andreabroadley - DASH diet is wonderful, and I'm sure it will help your husband. Lots of vegetables for sure! And don't worry about the smaller amount of animal protein. I have a hereditary coronary and lipid problem, and this works really well. Fish is great if he is craving more (hopefully he likes it...). I know it can be hard to cook more than one way, but believe me you can get used to it! When both my kids were home, we had 2 carnivores, a fish-lacto-ovo more or less vegetarian, and my mostly vegan with fish. I am a genius at multi-meal making, but I have to say I was happy when my daughter went off on her own and now I only have 2 meals to make!
@Loriab901 - so glad the day change helped inspire you to avoid the evil goodies of doom! Well done.
@Terytha - YES! Go tell that doc how great you are doing. Then keep at it! No celebrating by "treats" that just put you back where you do NOT want to go.
@micki48 - you crack me up. Yes, you have mastered maintenance! BUT we're getting you back into Onederland in short order, and keeping you there for all of July. OK?
Enjoy the rest of Saturday, and get those last 5 weigh-ins IN before I have to get out the BORN TO NAG picture...4 -

No worries, @evangsimmons170 - you had big losses the last 2 weeks, maybe went a bit too fast, and maybe you're having a reaction to that. Smaller steadier kinder, ok? Hugs to you 1
