JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 88

Round 88 – August 31 to September 9
Female, 5’, 66 years. Fall always seems more like the beginning of a new year for me than Jan.1. Summer is pretty much finished and time to plan what I’ll be involved in for the winter. So I looked back over the last year to see how my weight ups and downs had gone. It’s pretty obvious: stress = weight gain, increased activity = weight loss, for me. I’m not ready to go back to the gym till October but goal this round will be to add exercises at home + more yard work (want to be finished with that so much that I can almost taste it – but just have to keep plugging). Other goals – finish log each day, only yogurt or fruit in the evening and nothing after 9 p.m. SW – 162.4, GW – 161.4, UGW – 140. (This really should be 125 or 130 but that seems like such a long ways to go and 140 would be a huge improvement.)
Day/Weight/Comment
08/31 – 162.6
09/01 – 162.6
09/02 – 162.8 – Relax day yesterday and did not manage to track or exercise but ate fairly reasonably. Today is already better – made myself do some exercises before breakfast, seems that is the only way to get them in, and decided to make that my habit goal. It seems the only way to keep my waistline from “relaxing outward” is exercise that area. Otherwise my posture goes and waist is bigger even if my weight is the same and I’m getting other exercise like walking.
09/03 – 162.6 Pretty good day for calories but sadly did not log all. No LNS though, even though I was tempted. Ten min. stretching exercises but not abs. Three hours yard work.
09/04 – 162.8 Logged all, only a peach with fat free yogurt in the evening, warmup exercises but didn’t get any further. About 4.5 hrs. digging out old flower beds. The one spot is such slow going – grass, thyme, moss, lilac suckers, etc. Suddenly had an idea last night after supper – work in a different bed – it went so much faster and could keep working as it got dark because it is under one of the house lights!
09/05 – 163 – Did do my morning exercises but then had to do a ‘quick’ writing project before working outside. Ended up spending the day on it with a little left for today so no further exercise. Did not log all cals. but most and kept them reasonable.
09/06 – 163.8 – Thought I might have a drop as got a lot of exercise yesterday. Did eat back some of the cals. though. Logged all cals., warmup exercises, 4+ hours digging out flowerbeds. Rainy today and my arm is sore so taking it easy and tidying house.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/31-208.9 Plan today is for hubby and I to organize the bedroom closet and storage room. Husband started back up on MFP this week. He lost 50lbs easily a couple of years ago just by stopping to eat junk food, but he wasn't ready to make any other changes to lose the next 40-50lbs and he has maintained his weight for the last 3 years. This week he started to track his food and he was shocked on how many calories he was eating.
09/01-208.9 Did not drink a lot of water yesterday and had more snacks then usual. Organized and clean storage room yesterday and working on bedroom today. Ankle still sore, so went out for a walk instead. Strength coach today and then going out to lunch.
09/02-209.8 Had a great lunch at a local mexican restuarant. I didn't drink much water yesterday, so plan for today is to get my water in.
09/03-210.5 Probably still seeing the effects of lunch from 2 days ago. Weight is till trending downwards. Success yesterday is getting my water in. Strength coach today.
09/04-209.8 There goes some of the water weight. Need to still get some more water in this evening.
09/05-210.5 Hardly drank any water yesterday. Working on water intake today.
09/06-210.5 Feeling heavy. My intestinal system still hasn't fully recovered from my vacation from over a month ago. Weightlifting at the gym tonight.

08/31 - 123.4 :: was very active and unintentionally ate far lower than my calorie limit because of being busy through out the day. Made healthy choices. Last round was slow progress. This is a kicker to start with.
09/01 - 124.4 :: last drop was surprising, seems numbers evened out. Over calorie limit by < 100 cals. Not very active. Ate healthy.
09/02 - 124.4 :: ate a bit higher than calorie limit, <50 cals. Decently active. Ate healthy. Breakfast choice of Sago was very calorific, be cautious next time.
09/03 - 123.6 :: Ate in calorie limit, ate planned snack and controlled portions. Not very active.
09/04 - 124.4 :: Ate in calorie limit, ate planned snack and controlled portions. Decently active.
09/05 - 125.4 :: Ate under calorie limits, controlled portions. Active. TOM started, hence a little upswing.
09/06 - 125.4 :: Ate in calorie limits, was able to fit cravings in allowed limits. Decently active.

8/31 181.5 (-1.5) level was very low. Food intake was good, managed to hit the gym and give it my all.
9/1 181.5 +/- 0 Went to the gym with SIL, some cardio, shoulders, and back. I was craving carbs today.
9/2 182 +.5 Gym day included cardio and legs @anlaing016 has strong legs and pushed me to the limit. Who needs to walk on arm day right?
9/3 180.5 (-1.5) Boot camp in the morning and 45 minutes of cardio. Meal prepped early in the day to keep myself on track.
9/4 180 (-.5) Boot camp and 30 minutes of cardio. Eating clean seems to be working
9/5 181 +1 This challenge and logging my food seem to be working with the weight loss. Hard time finishing my water today. Boot camp and cardio but sat a lot at work.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/31: 197.8 (+/- 0) I didn’t think yesterday was horrible but I guess it wasn’t great. Weighed in today after my light breakfast. But not gaining is ok by me. Guess I’ll make this a 9 day challenge.
9/1: 199.0 (+1.2) well this challenge isn’t working so much so far. I did good all day yesterday. Even went to a wedding and didn’t eat. Ate McDonalds late but only half the food. Still early. Still hopeful
9/2: 198.2 (-.8) not to bad. Had a good workout yesterday. But ate a lot of junk food in small quantity. Mostly because I had a late lunch/ early dinner and was getting hungry. As long as it’s going down. Hopefully I can get back to my starting weight
9/3: 197.6 (-.6) yesterday wasn’t great but wasn’t horrible. Today is my daughters birthday and she’s requesting carb overload for birthday dinner. I’ll try to control myself. But sometimes there has to be risk to get a reward.
9/4: 198.0 (+.4) not to bad for celebrating my youngest daughters birthday with carb overload. I did my best to have portion control. But I also hadn’t eaten most of the day knowing most my calories would be going to dinner. Plus also haven’t slept much the past few days. Going to hit the gym and hope I can work it off.
9/5: 198.4 (+.4) guess working out and eating good only lasts for so long. Seems whenever I get to a low and maintain what I’ve been doing my body decides to gain. I’ve had this problem for a long time. It’s starting to look like I’ll never get where I wish to be. And it’s not just muscle gaining from weight training. Just like my life in general. When I start to see some good light darkness quickly takes over.
9/6: 198.0 (-.4) weighed in kind of late today. Didn’t have much motivation or drive to do it this morning. But I did. No matter the results I will stick through it. And with the help of a few people I will stay positive and keep pushing towards my goal no matter how long it takes. The best results are in the mirror not the scale. And I just have to remind myself of that daily. One day at a time with my accountability partners I’ll get there. Thanks! (They know who they are)

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 348 - 12/31/19 :flowerforyou:Round 64 - SW 373.4 EW 369 (-4.4)

Too much snacking yesterday, even a 45mins evening run didn't earn enough calories for dinner. Waiting for TOM might explain my sugar cravings during the day.
Uptick is probably a slightly uncontrolled the weekend showing.
I would like to say I'm ready to get back to healthy, but I'm not enjoying it very much. I don't think I'll ever stop wanting all the sweets. And then I think it's just a bit of vanity weight I want to get rid off - is it worth the logging and planning and restricting myself?

So my scale showed 71.4 first but that seemed too good to be true. I guess that's what TOM and TMI can do 😅
Not a good day, but try again tomorrow...

08/31 - 129.8 (-0.4lbs) - I think I’m finally getting better and should be back to working out very soon.
🥘 food was good, I got out and got a few things the store so no eating out at all and calories under for the day.

GOALS
Halfway GW: 140.4 (-17.4) <<achieved!>>
UGW: 123
GW this round: 128.2-129.2 lbs
Day/Weight/Comment
08/31 128.4 I'm under a lot of stress and not feeling well. Feeling highly ambivalent about my journey, which is scary. This is what happens to people in maintenance if they're not careful! I'm close enough to goal that I'm slipping in my hard-earned habits simply because I feel mostly good about how I look- tons better, anyway. I need to refocus, come up with some new goals.
09/01 128.4 Going on vacation, and still feeling meh. I should probably take a diet break (did this before by calculating maintenance calories and it worked out well), but... I have a feeling I'm going to come back heavier.
09/02 DNW, on vacation
09/03 130.6 Maybe I needed to go this far- back upward enough (+2.2 lbs and back in the 130s) that I can see the lost progress- in order to get my head back into it. And...THIS is why this challenge works, THIS is why we weigh every day, right, folks? We can catch ourselves mid-fall instead of when we're all the way on the ground, wondering how that 10, 15, 30 lbs creeped up on us. Motivated again!
09/04 128.6 Back into the 120s! Hoping I can keep it here for the rest of the round.
09/05 127 To quote Keanu Reeves from The Matrix (and every other Keanu film), "Whoa."
09/06 128.2 Seven days into this round, I'm basically holding even at my day 1 weight. It's good, actually, because this is after a three-day holiday weekend in which I went kinda off the rails. I'm learning how to recover from "off" days without turning them into "off" weeks. In the big picture view, this is progress, guys!

You all may have seen it already since I have not had a chance to catch up on posts. Did anyone notice they changed the Whooo to "Disagree". Finally!! At least that is letting people know it is not a cheer. Thanks MFP!!

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- 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.

Day/ Weight/ Comment
08/31: 206.8 same as yesterday but I'm okay with that! Hopefully this round will be as successful as the last!
09/01: 206.8 day 3 of the same weight! I am definitely not complaining considering it's a long weekend here in Canada and weekends aren't usually the best for my eating habits. I do try and stick within my maintenance calories at the very least but I'm doing pretty well so far this weekend Usually I would've gained a couple of lbs in water today lol.
09/02: 206.5 I still can't believe I haven't had any water gains. I stayed within my calorie goals yesterday but my calorie goal is set at 1670; I usually try to stay around 1400 per day during the week. I'm going to kill it this week (after today) haha!
09/03: 206.5 I don't think my weight has ever been this consistent lol. I'm hoping for a decent loss tomorrow ;D I ate McDonald's yesterday and still managed to stay well within my calorie goal.
09/04 205.3 Wooooohoo! Gotta keep 'em coming off! 5 more days to hit my goal 💪
09/05 205.3 Again with the consistency! Lol. 1.3lbs to go to reach my goal for the round!
09/06 205.3 Again!!! This has to be water weight. I had 2 days of Subway in a row lol.
