I am back for this round and took several rounds off, but I don’t have the grand kids for 2 weeks and want to get back to tracking. I am not concentrating on anything but just getting back on track. I was finally able to get at least 2 walks in already that have been 2 hours long, happy about this. The humidity is supposed to break so next week will also be good for walking.Round 68 SW: 225.8 – EW: 219.8 (↓6lbs)

Day/Weight/Comment
07/22 - 194.8
07/23 – 194.2
07/24 – 196.2 This is stress eating and no exercise. I will get this and get back on track and stay there. Everything seems to be going wrong these days; I just want something to go right.
07/25 - (It’s my Birthday) – 196
07/26 - 195.4 I am pleased with this but have been doing a lot of walking and still sore from yesterday. I walked 4 miles at our middle school track and a total of 2 miles to and back home. Plus another hour and a half cleaning (dusting, vacuuming and scrubbing bathroom)I am sore so rest today and probably the weekend. I still have a ways to go to lose the few extra pounds I put on.
07/27 – 198.8 I am struggling, I have been struggling for a couple months. I will get this and get a handle on things.
07/28 – 199.8 I have to get this eating under control, it is hurting me and derailing my progress. Step stressing it will eventually get better!

July 22 - First day doing 1200 calories. Didn't do to bad. A little hungry throughout the day but filled up on water. Went over my goal by 6.
July 23 - Second day at 1200 calories. Way more hungry today. Went over my goal by 640! Weighed in this morning. Disappointed with the number.
July 24 - Day 3 at 1200cal. Did better today. Still not on goal but healthy choices today and only over by a little bit. Scale was down a little this morning. It's a Step in right direction
July 25 - Day 4. Still didn't make 1200, but still only over by a little. I think I need to find a way to eat more filling foods. I don't like protein (only eat chicken) or yogurt and things like that so it's hard to get foods that keep me full longer. But the scale is going down so I'll keep pressing on
July 26 - Day 5. Well last night I ate 700 calories over in Fritos and half a Costco chocolate chip cookie 😭😭 then I felt bad so I went for an hour's walk. Enjoyed the walk though. I know my gain this morning is probably salt from those Fritos so I am trying not to focus on it too much. Here's to another day 🥂
July 27 - Day 6. Yesterday I felt in control. I chose healthy options. I drank seven 24oz bottles of water. I took my kids to the park. I stayed within my points range. It was a great day. And it is working. The scale is moving. Now to keep it going in the downward position for the weekend ❣️
July 28 - Day 7. Woke yesterday in a fantastic, in control mood. Went for a nice long walk while everyone slept. It was a beautiful morning. Came home and had my breakfast and sat down
never should of sat. It completely ruined my day. I got lazy, which in turn made me snacky. I got into the Hawkins Cheezies...😔 Oh well. Fresh day today. I will do better today. I am learning being emotional and now bored and lazy are my triggers. Need to come up with a plan! 10 -

Day/Weight/Comment
07/22 – 144.5 – First morning after get-away weekend.
07/23 – 144.5 – Back to work after a long weekend away. Will try to stick to weight loss calories and plenty of water to get my weight back down a couple pounds.
07/24 – 144 – Evidently, the weight I gained this weekend was not all water, but at least it’s going down.
07/25 – 142.5 – Well, it took a while, but there is my water whoosh from the weekend. Yay!
07/26 – 142.5 – I’m glad this stuck from yesterday. I’m going to eat a little less at work today to prepare for my weekend indulgences.
07/27 – 142.5
07/28 – 142 – I ate light and healthy up until supper yesterday, so I’m happy with this weight for a Sunday morning, but my cheeseburger and onion rings may catch up with me tomorrow.

I have taken a couple of rounds with fb due to my daughter getting married and company visiting. In amongst all of that I started a new job. My weight is way up from where I was, so I’m starting to get serious again.
July 22 - 184.5 - nothing to say about this I was hoping to never see the 180’s again.
July 23 - 183.2 - had a good day yesterday
July 24 - 184.6 - had some carbs yesterday, it sure makes a difference
July 24 - 184.4 - another fair day yesterday. I was within my goals.
July 26 - 184.0 - surprising after the way I ate yesterday.
July 27 - 185.0 - that makes sense. I need to get my diet under control again.
July 28 - 185.8 - I am so disappointed in myself.

Round SW: 157.8lbs
Earlier this round:07/22: 159.2lbs (+1.4 lbs)
After doing just 16:8 or 18:6 this weekend, I’m not surprised. I also believe I haven’t been drinking enough water. I had 100oz yesterday, but I still feel dehydrated. In for a 42h fast now, and will have my next meal tomorrow lunch.
07/23: 157.0lbs (-2.2lbs)
I assume is some water weight as I gained some yesterday, but overall still my lowest yet. I’m feeling really good about this! About to end my 42h fast at lunch today.
07/24: 157.0 (±0.0lbs)
I was hoping for a small drop, but hey, you can’t have a loss everyday.
Today is regular 18:6 schedule. Lunch and dinner. Then another 46/48 hour fast will begin before the weekend.
07/25: 159.6 (+2.6lbs)
Yesterday went down a little different than planned. I still stayed keto, but my dinner ended up 2 hours later than usual. If it was a weekend or a short fast ahead I would have skipped it. However, I’m now on a 46/48h fast (till dinner Friday), so didn’t want to start that with just a little guac. I was also bad at drinking water yesterday. With fasting today I hope to lose the water weight by tomorrow.
07/26: 157.4lbs (-2.2lbs)
Well . . . This was discouraging . . . I thought I’d lose more water weight (from the gain yesterday) after a full day of fast. I’ve also started with very slight jogs this week. On Monday I did 5min walk/ 30 sec jog for 48min, yesterday I did 4.5min walk, 30sec jog for 44min. Since scale isn’t everything I did a quick measurement over my hips (even though the measurements are not due for another 1.5 weeks) just to see if something has happened. And it has! 4cm (1.5in) down! Feel a little better, but still waiting for those pounds to drop so I can have my next reward.
07/27 157.4lbs (±0.0lbs)
I finished my 44h fast yesterday. . . Still no change. Not very encouraging, and today we’re having the pool party. I’ll have a couple of shots, then bring something like truly with very low carb in it to have something to drink, that is not just water. Right now I have nothing to go on. The NSV reported yesterday was incorrect. It was only 1cm (<0.5in). I have to believe I’m at stage 2 of this pic. At least overall this round so far, I’m at a lower weight than when I started. 0.4lbs. Not much, but at least some.
07/28 159.6lbs (+2.2lbs)
Not as bad as I thought. I did a lot of baking and cooking yesterday for the pool party to have low carb alternatives. I still had a few regular pinwheels, and some fruit. I also had some fruits at midnight. While it wasn’t time for such a meal/day as per my plan, life happens, and felt I needed to let go a little to not feel deprived of life so to speak. At least it’s not as bad as last week, but we’re coming up on the end, and so I hope I can counter this before that happens.

07/22 307.2 The heat won yesterday and I barely got in 3500 steps. Most of those were after sunset. It’s much cooler today and will be for a few days so I’m looking forward to getting outside this week.
07/23 307.0 I got in a lot more walks yesterday and it was nice to get outside again. I can’t believe how much I used to fear/hate the thought of walks around the neighborhood.
07/24 306.2 That’s a nice drop. My nsv today is more loose pants! I pulled my jeans out this morning because it was a little cooler. They stayed on, but I was swimming in them. I remember putting extra stitches in the butt awhile back to make sure they didn’t split. Today though I said I think I could fit my daughter and me in these pants they’re so baggy.
07/25 305.6
07/26 308.2 My lack of proper sleep, pain, and just general blah won out last night. It happens to me every so often and oddly helps to re-motivate me. I’ll have this gain gone in no time as it’s all water.
07/27 307.6 Starting to go back down. I was on track with my calories, but I don’t think I drank enough water. I should see losses over the next several days and be to a new low soon. I finally got some new clothes that aren’t even a little bit loose or baggy. My husband is certain that if I give it a couple of months I’ll need new ones again. I don’t remember the last time I was in these sizes, but it’s been awhile.
07/28 306.0 Almost back down.

Goal for this 10 days - learn daily moderation instead of restrict until I get frustrated and start bingeing again! Need to get out of this pattern.
7/22 - 141.3
7/23 - 142.0. TOM due today. I really need it to get here. The bloating and cramps are out of control (sorry to all the men out there for having to read that...)
7/24 - 141.1. Don't know how because I had a binge yesterday. Will probably see that on the scale later this week. TOM appeared at least so maybe some of that bloat is leaving.
7/25 - 140.4
7/26 - 139.1
7/27 - 139.8
7/28 - 140.2. Not unexpected. Had steak for dinner and red meat makes me bloat for a while. And I'm very sore from a boot camp class.

22: 239 Feedback: Hydration affects weight. I totally didn't drink enough water yesterday! Not sure what was up. I'm usually really good about having enough, but I only drank about half of my usual intake.
23: 239.2 I'm completely at peace with this. We took my younger daughter and her best friend to Sea Life and the Minnesota Zoo yesterday. That meant mall food plus 7 hours of driving. I enjoyed Auntie Anne's pretzels for lunch(way more carbs than I'd usually eat in one sitting), and had a Caesar salad with shrimp for dinner. I even managed to stay pretty close to my IF schedule. I finished eating about an hour later than usual. I feel like I did a pretty good job enjoying the day-trip without going completely overboard.
24: 238.3 😁
25: 237.2 !!?!!? I'm shocked by this. I stayed within my calories and IF schedule, but I ate more movie theatre popcorn than I usually would and had a fast food burrito for dinner. I did skip the seasoned potatoes that I love (because they're deep fried and more carbs), but my carbs were still really high (about 50% higher than my goal). My kids left for 2 weeks with their dad today, so yesterday afternoon/evening we had a special family outing. I'm glad the scale doesn't reflect what I was sure would be a gain.
26: 235.9 OMG!!! I'm so effing excited about this! I know that the 1 and 2 pound daily losses won't last forever, so I'm just gonna bask in this for as long as I can. WHEEEEEE! 🤸💃🤸💃
27: 234.7 TOM is due tomorrow. I only had a 30 calorie deficit yesterday. Last night, I had to take extra precautions to avoid snacking during my fasting time. I managed, but it definitely took some will power! I guess it paid off! 🤸💃🤸💃
28: 235.5 I totally rocked my IF schedule, calories, macros, water, and sleep. That narrows the cause to pre-TOM weight gain. ♀️

07/22 - 216.8 had a big up on the scale today from yesterday, but probably due to first day of period. Started Keto today because my weight loss has been so slow with regular CICO and my nutritionist said I may have insulin issues due to my PCOS, so giving it a shot. Energy levels high most of the challenges are mental but it's amazing how hard that is to overcome. Worked out with my PT today - super intense, very tired but happy
07/23 - 214.4 omg! Biggest loss I've ever had overnight. Thanks, Keto! I know it's just water weight and it really only put me .6 below my start weight for this after yesterday's high, but it gave me the morale I needed to keep going. Had a DXA bodyscan today - 46.5% body fat. What an eye opener... I had no idea it was that much. Used these two things to motivate me to stick to keto today. Crazy busy today so didnt exercise, but got lots of walking and stretching in today and will definitely go to the gym tomorrow.
07/24 - 214.2! That seems like a much more reasonable overnight change, so I'm happy. Hopefully some of this is fat and not all water. Thinking about all the visceral fat in my body scan has motivated me well to stick to my diet all day. Got an intense workout in on the elliptical and I'm feeling pretty good on Day 3 of keto!
07/25 - 212.6! Another big loss overnight! It feels like a miracle! Very happy on Day 4 of Keto but did buy an electrolyte today to help w a 2-day headache. Had a very stressful and agitating day but stuck to my calorie goals. Did not exercise... Spent the entire day waiting for a Frontier technician that never showed up and by the time the service window cloaed at 6pm, had to scramble to get chores done. Will get more exercise tomorrow and hope for a continued weight loss tonight despite no exercise
07/26 - 211! Omg, so happy! I ended up working out last night after posting that I felt bad not exercising. Then today, I definitely didn't eat enough during the day but then my partner came back from a long work trip and we did a celebratory meal and... I definitely ate a lot! It was my first time struggling to stick to keto because everything at the steakhouse was glazed but I got them to make me a special unglazed meal. Felt crazy full though so worried I overate. Got a tough workout in during the morning so hopefully that plus eating light during the day didnt reverse my losses
07/27 - 210.8! Glad to still see some loss despite my super heavy dinner. We had company visit today so I wasnt able to take time away to exercise, but we walked around a lot touring our new area. I stuck to my diet despite how hard it was to find keto options at the restaurants we went to, so I'm proud of myself for that

07/22 131 Happy. Ribs yesterday. This is still a new low, even if it's up .5 from yesterday!
07/23 131.5 Ok....Still lower than last round except for the last day, but would prefer not to keep going up! 3 mile run this morning--felt pretty good, and sustained a decent pace! Then went to a really great yoga class!
07/24 131.5 Happy to see that the upward drift stopped. Tried out a new YMCA class--Body Jam. It was a dance class and although I wasn't spot on, I didn't totally embarrass myself and apparently I burned some calories. Then I went for a 4 mile very hilly walk.
07/25 131.5 Yay! This number is still sticking. Was careful yesterday, because Thursday is one of my challenge weigh in days and I wanted to stay low!
07/26 132 No particular reason for this. I ate a little more yesterday, but all healthy and I exercised a ton, so it was all within the counts. Probably a normal bounce.
07/27 131 There we go. I exercised a ton yesterday, with a big deficit. Really looking forward to breaking into the 120's!
07/28 131.5 I went walking yesterday. Then we went to a movie and out for Ethiopian food. So both a higher carb and an "I don't really know how many calories...." day. But had 1000 calories left for dinner, so I was probably ok. Totally fine being up .5 today.

July⛱️
22:126
23:123.4- Wow all over the place...wondering if alcohol consumption from the weekend makes you retain water? Enjoyed my weekend both kids home, but what a scorcher! Very limited outside activities, my husband and I usually enjoy riding our bikes impossible to do with over 100 heat index. Daughter had her wisdom teeth removed yesterday so took my first rest day in a long long time...Honestly did not understand or believe the need for them( I am wrong about so much and have learned so much from the posts on this site). Wow then dropped probably water weight but also maybe a little more weight too.
24:123.6- Relieved, hard to believe I stayed almost the same...having daughter home all day recovering from having her 4 wisdom teeth removed really upped temptation. I was making jello pudding, mashed potatoes anything she wanted to get her to eat. But of course I needed to taste first, Eeks! I did sneak off and go to My Body Combat class which I love while she slept.
07/25- 124.2- The science of the scale is confounding..I actually ate 100 calories less yesterday in anticipation of going to dinner with my girlfriends tonight, inline with the idea brought forward of saving calories...Threw that idea overboard. I did go to Body Pump yesterday and since adjusting my protein to pretty much twice what I was eating before have been pushing myself to pick up heavier weight and complete more reps. I definitely am seeing improvement and am secretly praying this is just water retention from muscle exertion( which I say sarcastically because I still feel like such a wimp in class)
07/26- 124.8 I should be relieved its not much higher, I enjoyed truffled fries, bison hamburger, 2 glasses of wine though I did not eat the bun, a slice of my girlfriends pizza. A wonderful evening, but alas, going the wrong direction on the scale and heading into the weekend. This spells T R O U B L E for me right here in river city.
07/27- 125  I need to go out to dinner with my girlfriends on Mondays in the future!!! This is so frustrating I was doing so well before and feel like I have lost control. Going to a Barbecue tonight, I guess my only hope is to not hit 126.
07/28- 124.8 The mysteries of the scale prevail...Wonderful dinner last night no idea how much I ate...So quite surprised to be heading down again. As I have already proven to my children I can not read minds I obviously can not foresee the future either. Bodyflow class this morning and then husband surprised me with wanting to go for a bike ride. We just completed 30 miles not a minute to soon as the heat is really ramping up. Need to pack, visiting my mom Tuesday so only have 1 or 2 days left to complete this challenge.

Today I am going to take 30 minutes to do some cleaning. And it is helping me feel better about self and coming home to an organized, fresh smelling apartment is awesome! Now the challenge is to keep it going because I still have a long way to go. This project helps keep my mind off food. My goal to have my place ready my November to have guests over like I use to. I love entertaining and this will be SOOO good for me. I know ultimately, I must do this in order to lose and keep my weight off for good. So, I am ready to get to these core issues with help from God, my therapist, WW and MFP. I am going to do whatever it takes.

My journey … ("I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!")In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbsMy highest weight was 611 in 2003. Weight in 2004 before weight loss surgery was 580. Lowest weight after surgery was 302 in 2007. "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"
In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs
In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs
I joined MFP on March 27, 2010 weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.
I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.
Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.
Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.
On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Out Patient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I actually gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and my the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.
My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively everyday. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Everyday I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.
Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us. :flowerforyou: SW 373.4 - 1/3/19 GW 299 - 12/31/19 :flowerforyou:

My plan for the next 2 months (9 weeks) is to get dow to 68.0, that's 5kg to lose, which is 0.8kg each 10 day round. I have a bet with a friend to achieve this.
To do this, I will stick with logging, eat healthy and exercise. I will see how I can reduce my eating window during my work days.

So this minute loss is my body giving me the chance to make it a round number and aim for exactly 5kg loss...
Started day alright, very late breakfast, which was actually lunch, due to meetings, but managed ok. Was going to run in the eve but then DH suggested a bike ride. Fewer cals burned, but time well spent 🥰.
Dinner a little late, but resisted my urge to snack, so that's a win.

Yes, another evening I stayed strong and didn't snack. It was a struggle, but I won.
Good day, started with a run and exercise. Had a few snacks at work, but they fit within my cals and were on the healthier side.

That's the reward I needed for no LNS to stick with it Also, it matches MFP's prediction from 5 weeks ago, that's never happened before.
This week is crazy hot in the Netherlands, and I think most of Europe, so I started my morning with an easy walk before working from home. Due to meetings again didn't eat until late, which means I managed to fast for 16hrs again. In the evening, we decided to go to the cinema, have some burger at a new place, DH and I shared one and I went easy on the fries. Plus, we cycled there and back - becoming Dutch But then DH bought me popcorn, which I couldn't say No to. Overall good day

@IsMollyReallyHungry I love decluttering, have you heard of The January Cure? There is also something in september, I think. It's this programme,that breaks down a house overhaul in managable little chunks. Some of the things are great, others not so much, but I liked a lot, even if I didn't always put it in practice...

Day/Weight/Comment
07/22 - 140.8, stayed the same as yesterday, which is great on a weekend! I have a group tennis lesson today, and I will try to do 60 minutes on elliptical. I have a work dinner tonight at a Thai restaurant so I might be up temporarily tomorrow due to sodium intake, but I preselected dinner already. Good feeling that this is the round I break into the 130s and stay there.
07/23 - 140.2, did not sleep well (fell asleep at 12am and it’s currently 4am). I have my alarm set for 6am so hope to go back to sleep. Taking my 8 year old dog to the vet for teeth cleaning and I am always so nervous! I won’t have time today for anything besides work and the dog so no workout. I am really thirsty so had too much salt yesterday, but drank a lot. Will continue to drink today (aiming for water, depending on how pup is!)
07/24 - 140.4, my dog made it out ok, but with six fewer teeth. He’s still a bit slower than usual, but understandable! I have dinner with a friend from college today at a prime rib restaurant (can’t believe we’ve known each other over 10 years!). Expecting to be a few lbs heavier tomorrow, but still hopeful end of the round will be a new decade.
07/25 - 140.6, meals entirely made at home for the next two days so should be down by Saturday.
07/26 - 140.4, had a good day yesterday and so far today has been good. I worked out for 60 minutes at the gym today and yesterday. Going to a see a movie later tonight and prep for a couple of presentations over the weekend. Although I wish I saw more of a change quickly, my overall trend line is going down and just have to trust the process. Some weeks I do the same thing and I lose over 1% of my body weight and other weeks will be less than .5 lbs
07/27 - 140.6, I have been having trouble sleeping so hopefully after my big presentation tomorrow, I can finally sleep. Today I had a couple of slices of pizza at lunch and sushi for dinner so will be up tomorrow, but had two offsites so limited choice.
07/28 - 140.2, tomorrow I’m off to Hawaii to visit family. I usually lose weight in Hawaii since it’s so hot I drink a lot of water and eat pretty clean. Hoping to be below 139 when I get back in a week.

I am officially 5 rounds away from turning the big 4-0! That means I have 50 days to lose another 5 pounds and be below 140. When I started way back in July of 2018 I thought I would have already reached my goal, but alas I am still working on it, lol. My only goal this round is to see a new low and that my 10 day average continues to drop, however slow that may be and believe me the last couple of rounds it has been extremely slow.
Round 80: 148.7 - 148.0 down .7 Avg 147.22
Round 81: 148.0 - 146.5 down 1.5 Avg 147.87
Round 82: 146.5 - 146.3 down .2 Avg 146.93
Round 83: 146.3 - 145.9 down .4 Avg 146.72
07/22 - 147.3 up from yesterday, but had a good day. Did eat at the mall and then do some snacking while meal prepping for the week. So I am sure I will be back down soon. Finished my daughters room and all the school shopping for both girls. Dinner planned tonight and breakfast/lunches planned for the week. On track for today and should be an early night to bed. The youngest starts her last year of elementary tomorrow since she is in year around. Can't believe I will finally be done with that school. From my oldest to the youngest I have been going there continuously for the last 16 years!
07/23 - 146.7 I overate last night and did some snacking after I got home from work. I was starving all day yesterday and couldn't curve it for some reason. It was just one of those days I guess. For the next 9 days I am going to try and do absolutely no snacking before dinner, while cooking, or clean up after dinner. I am just eating to eat at that point and there is no point to it. So day 1 let's see how I do.
07/24 - 144.4 yes! Finally now all I have to do is keep it down and drop a couple more ounces before the end of the month. I can see that 143.xxx right around the corner. On track for today and dinner set for tonight!
07/25 - 143.1 New low and a huge drop! I almost cried when I saw this, I was so happy. We will see if it sticks tomorrow, but right now I am super thrilled with it! I almost have a 3 pound loss for the month, and I haven't had one of those since October. This made a new happy scale milestone (2 more to go), completes 35 pounds lost, I am officially in the "normal BMI" category by a couple of ounces, and I am at the top of my maintenance weight. I would like for my maintenance weight to be 138-143 eventually. I will see if I like it there and figure out what I want to do at that point. I am sure it will take me a while to get lower. This has been a pretty big month of weight loss, so I am totally expecting a jump up or to stay here for a while and I am completely ok with that. 6 days left to hold on and see what I can do. I have a tendency to let myself relax when I get comfortable and I am determined not to do that this time. I really want to see myself at 138.
07/26 - 143.1 I am shocked that this stayed the same. Maybe it is a real number. I snacked a little before dinner and then while cleaning up, so I was kind of worried this morning. Low cal day today and should be able to stay on track without any issues tonight. Would love to go into the weekend this low and be able to maintain the next 5 days. If I can finish the month at 143 or maybe even 142 something I will be thrilled.
07/27 - 141.7 I can’t believe I dropped even more. This month has been amazing! I am at almost 5 pounds lost and I never have months like that. I lose maybe a pound a month the last 4 or 5 months. I am so happy that it’s finally catching up and the scale is showing my hard work. It may go up over the weekend, but in super thrilled going in so low!
07/28 - 144.0 I hate that I eat a couple of carbs and boom 2 - 3 pounds overnight. Nice Japanese grill date night with hubby complete with korin beer and some saki. Water and better food options are in store for the rest of the day. Would like to end this month around 142 or back to 141!

Result:
Day - Weight - Comment
07/22 - 132.4 (-0.1lb) - Food was all good besides hot chocolate at the end of the night, which definitely had added sugar. 1hr strength. 50min cardio. 14,385 steps. 137oz water.
07/23 - 132.6 (+0.2lbs) - Food was good. Up due to TOM which should start very soon. Day off strength. 1hr 30min cardio. 17,966 steps. 119oz water.
07/24 - 133.1 (+0.5lbs) - Food was good. TOM is cause of gain. Day off strength. 1hr cardio. 30min yoga. 15,278 steps. 119oz water.
07/25 - 132.8 (-0.3lbs) - Food was ok but chocolate and some small amounts of added sugar crept in out of nowhere. Wasn’t me. 60min strength training. 50min cardio. 15,366 steps. 135oz water.
07/26 - 133.5 (+0.7lbs) - Didn’t eat nearly enough calories. Had stomach pain all night and couldn’t eat dinner. Was short around 800cals and it was an intense workout day! 😔 BUT today is a new day and I feel better! 1hr 20min strength training. 1hr cardio. 14,573 steps. 175oz water.
07/27 - 134.1 (+0.6lbs) - Food was horrrible! First day I’ve eaten horrible in a long time! I was just so hungry. I guess my body wanted to make up the 650 calories I didn’t eat yesterday. Problem is I had ice cream and corn nuts 🤦🏻♀️ Its ok though, today is a new day and I’ll do better. Besides I felt so sick from the unhealthy food I don’t think I’ll even want to touch it for awhile. I blame TOM for all of this! LOL I can not be held accountable. Day off strength. 1.5hrs cardio. 14,763 steps. 142oz water.
07/28 - 134.8 (+0.7lbs) - Food wasn’t great. Was under calories though. Might be high due to sodium but not really sure. Day off strength. 2hrs cardio. 12,481 steps. 144oz water.

Day/Weight/Comment:
7/22: 139.6 lbs - It is what it is. 2 weeks in the U.K., eating and drinking and not exercising much. I knew I would pay for it and I'm not going to dwell.
7/23: 139.0 lbs - off to a good start. Hoping it'll all come back off quickly.
7/24: 137.8 lbs - played pickleball yesterday for the first time in a couple weeks, a little sore today. Ate well, feeling good to be back in the swing of things and the scale loss is very nice to see. Starting my new daily goals today, hoping to see some quick returns. Otherwise, today is a rest day. I've got a pickleball tournament this weekend and don't want to overdo it after 2 weeks of nearly no exercise.
7/25: 137.8 lbs - still working through jet lag and pretty darn exhausted at the end of the day. Taught beginner pickleball class last night and played a couple games after, it was good to do a little running around. I met the water drinking goal and stretched but did not get the steps, push ups or crunches in. Baby steps.
7/26: 136.8 lbs - perhaps a false low because I barely ate yesterday. But it's nice to see. Managed to get all the water in, all the steps in and do the stretching and worked out for an hour or more. Didn't get the push ups or crunches in though. Today and tomorrow I'll be in a pickleball tournament (in 92 degree heat!), will definitely get my work out and steps done. Wish me luck!
7/27: 136.8 lbs - happy to see this for 2 days in a row, hoping it sticks. Day two of Pball tournament today, I got silver yesterday. Drank plenty of water, stretched, got the steps in, and did a few crunches and push ups. Almost there.
7/28: 135.6 lbs - Pretty sure this is due to 10 hours in the sun and being dehydrated. Got first place in my division though. We will see if this sticks.

Hi all, this is my second round and excited to see where this next round takes me. I first started my MFP journey in 2015. I dropped down to 138 pounds and went into maintenance. I was fine for awhile until my world went crazy and exercise was no longer a priority. After putting on over 20 pounds, I got back to working out and calorie counting diligently. I have IBS and no gallbladder, so I stick to a low fat diet. I am also hypothyroid which makes losing weight at times challenging. I keep on trucking because the pot of gold at the end of 🌈 is health and an increased life expectancy.
Age: 36
Height 5’2-5’3 been measure both.
HW: 230lbs
SWMFP: 220lbs
CW: 127
GW: 115-120
UG: to love my body; even with stretch marks, cellulite and loose skin. Gain muscle and lower body fat.
Day/Weight/Comment
07/22 127lbs. Had a good workout 🏋️♀️. Yesterdays forced rest did my body good and I was able to easily knock out two hours of strength and aerobics. Ending my day with a yoga 🧘♀️ session for recovery. Feeling good, even with the scale not moving in a few days.
07/23 128.3lbs. Weight is up, trying not to panic and cut my daily calories. IBS flare up cut my workout short today and sent me home to bed with my heating pad. Crossing my fingers I will be all good tomorrow.
07/24 129lbs (sigh). Went on a ten mile walk with my son. Afterwards, every inch of my body hurt, while my son was still bouncing around full of energy. Lol, I thought he would collapse when we got home, but nope it was mid-30s old me. I did a good stretch drank down my protein shake and took a nap 😴. Hoping to see the scale go down tomorrow 🤞.
07/25 129.9lbs🤦🏽♀️. Up again, but inches are still coming off; just not reflected on the scale. I just increased my protein using shakes, so maybe that’s causing the scale to go up. Had a good walk with my son. It’s a good way to get him away from the tv during the summer. Today, he even asked when are we going on our walk (proud mama). Got in some strength training and recovering with yoga.
07/26 127.9lbs. Finally, the scale is down. It was 🥵 hot today and I didn’t eat much and skipped my walk. I did step aerobics, which kills my glute muscles and some weight training 💪. Tomorrow will brave the heat and walk my 100 blocks.
07/27 127lbs. Busy day; lots of walking logged doing errands. Got some strength training in using my kettlebell and my body is sore. NSV: just realized all my clothes are baggy on me! Shopping trip is in my future. I learned sometimes you have to ignore the scale and go by the measuring tape and pics.
07/28 126.5lbs. The scale is going down but so are my calories. It’s 🥵 outside and the heat is killing my appetite. I got up early and got in my strength training and step aerobics. I than walked four miles to my doctors appt and back. Ending the day with a hot bath for my muscles 💪. My goal for the next week is to make sure my protein intake is up.

Goal this round: 138
7/25: (140.6) I just started back with MFP today. In the past I've never really made an effort to be involved in the community, and I always just stopped tracking. I feel ready to take this seriously now, mostly because I want to improve my athletic performance, and at this point in my life that has to include diet. I exercised less than usual today because it was a rest day. I didn't eat that well, but I didn't eat that poorly, either. I was really planning on starting tomorrow.
7/26: (139.8) Did bootcamp first thing this morning and walked the dog twice. Until about 3:00, I ate really well, but that's usually the case. I had a healthy breakfast and lunch then snacked in the afternoon instead of eating the salmon I thawed for dinner. I plan to be a little more organized tomorrow.
7/27: (140.4) Felt thinner, but weight was up. I ran 5 miles this morning then walked the dog twice again. I'm feeling pretty hormonal. Oddly, according to my Apple Watch, I've burned way, way more calories (11,500 so far) this month than any other month in the 17 months I've had it, and I am 100% certain I haven't eaten more, yet my weight is up four pounds.
7/28: (140.4) Sigh. I didn't exercise at all today. The dog is barking as a result. I also ate too many carbs and not enough veggies because I didn't feel like going to the store. But I'm finished eating for the day. Even though this is really not going the way I would like, I realize that consistency is the key--tracking and exercising. And I also think there's a slight possibility my weight is up because I increased exercise so much. That seems to happen to me at first when I really ramp it up. I'm not giving up yet, but it doesn't look like I'm going to hit that short-term goal.
