Weekly Numbers Day.
Actual weight change: .6 lbs
Weight loss by deficit: 2.28 lbs
Masking: 7.4 lbs <- Isn't that fun
3wk RoL: -.2 lbs
6wk RoL: 1.6 lbs
12wk RoL: 1.95 lbs
What a fun week this has been. I managed to uptick over 6 pounds on a friggun liquid diet day for that medical test. Only I could find a way to do that lol. The next day I was up a total of 14.9 pounds in water because I was already in 2 different upticks when it happened. As you can see I am only 7.4 pounds up now because in the last 3 days I have visited the restroom enough to lose 8.6 pounds. This makes me feel bad because it depletes my electrolytes. I am replenishing but not fast enough.
I may not have been the most attentive leader here this week. Sorry. I am afraid it may not get too much better for a period of time because my surgery is right around the corner now. That is assuming I can get this blasted water weight back down in time.
I recorded my weight incorrectly. My actual weight change was .8 pounds. It changes the rest of the numbers obviously but not enough for me to go through and post them again.0 -

...this has been an exhausting week for me with appointments,birthdays and my husband in so much pain from his RA and stenosis of the spine...I stayed under my calorie limits but could have made some healthier food selections.....but onward I go....no one ever said the road wouldn’t have some bumps in it!...
Thanks for all you do for this group!
If you stayed in a deficit you got healthier. A college professor ate what is now dubbed the "Twinkie Diet" for 10 weeks, lost weight, and improved his health markers:

Obviously he does not want anyone repeating his experiment but I doubt your diet last week was what he was eating. I do believe he might have started to have problems eventually but in the short term it was not a problem and proves weight loss is healthy all by itself.
I know that doesn't help your situation with your husband but maybe if you are not very stressed over food selection it will help you a little.

Don't ship me off just yet. It is still a couple of weeks away. I may be more distracted than usual though until then. Afterwards I have a notion the first week will be pretty rough and then get much better each week after that. That is my hope anyway.4 -
Number update today:
1. My streak on MFP is 130 days.
2. I am down 22 pounds.
3. Today will be day 91 of walking at least 5 miles & 11,000 steps a day.
4. I have walked 649 miles since April 20, 2019.5 -
I lost another 4.8 pounds of mostly water yesterday again. I probably lost 2 pounds of it sweating my rear off at a football game yesterday evening. It was 100 degrees when it started. BRUTAL.
I am now just masking 2.8 pounds which definitely reduces my stress a little considering that 3 days ago I was WELL over my surgery weight.5 -
After my epic 6lb gain last week, I managed to lose it all this week!5
-
That is great TwinThompson!.....btw. Are you a twin?1

@conniewilkins56 yep I’m an identical twin! We’re going healthy and trying to lose weight together. We’ve managed to lose the exact same amount in the same length of time lol3

I’m 31, 5’6, and decided to commit to my weight lost journey, weighting in at 295.00. Will start exercising within a few hours. Wish me luck! Scared2

@monique070688
You are trying to change your life. It will be scary but look how brave you are for going after it anyway. I find it best to block out the forest and focus only on the single tree I have to chop down today. All you have to do today is eat a little less and move a little more while being kind to yourself in the process.4 -
Numbers Day.
Actual weight loss: 8 lbs
Weight loss by deficit: 2.46 lbs
Masking: 1.7 lbs
3 wk RoL: 2.00
6 wk RoL: 2.33
12 wk RoL: 2.43
Anyone new here should not think that I lost 8 pounds of fat in a single week. I have been experiencing some crazy water retention that is really close to being resolved.3 -
Day 324 - down exactly 124lbs to 301...REALLY want to break under 300 this week, but past experience shows me it will be more like two weeks, unless I really up my game.3
-
Good luck Jim....I can’t wait ( weight lol ) to see that 2 as my first number in my weight!....hoping for it in October!3
-
Best of luck @jim_pipkin. I was hoping to cross into the sub-300 zone by the end of the month, but I've been in a holding pattern all of September, bouncing between 303 and 308.2

I lost my 4 without much trouble. My 3 hung on for 3 weeks. It finally broke and then about 5 days later I was at a doctor's office getting weighed fully dress and the little monster returned for a last trip around the track.
Just let it happen. I would never advise someone "upping their game" for a quick scale result unless it was medically necessary.2 -
@jim_pipkin Awesome Loss! Your actions are everything! Keep working your plan and the 3’s will be long behind you in your rear view mirror!2

Last Weigh-in: 227.4 September 10th
Today’s Weigh-in: 222.2 September 27th
I realize I should probably check-in more consistently to keep myself on track. I am here everyday, but not sharing....I believe the sharing is very beneficial, yet I continue lurking behind the scenes???6 -
@DogMom919 Nice progress. Keep it up
1 -
I know there's still another day but it looks like I've stayed the same in September, which is OK as it's better than a gain.
I'm probably not going to hit my Christmas target now but that's OK too.
Restarting tomorrow with a new exercise plan and no social activities in the diary.2 -
Not gaining is good. Practicing maintenance isn’t a bad thing. Way to make improvements to your plan and push forward. Remember perfectionism can be a powerful nemesis. It’s ok not to be perfect all of the time, and there is no harm in trying to be perfect every time.0

Thanks, maintenance this month is definitely a positive for me.1 -
You'll likely lose a bit of water weight once you get back into your groove, too. 2
-
@DogMom919 I'm the same way. I'm here pretty much every day, but don't post nearly as often as I should. It's such a great group & I really love reading everyone's posts every day, I just need to get better at contributing!2

My last numbers before surgery:
Actual weight lost: 1.6 lbs
Weight Change by Deficit: n/a
Masking: n/a
3 wk RoL: 3.47
6 wk RoL: 2.00
12 wk RoL: 2.32
So I actually lost 1.8 pounds but I rounded it up so that my final amount of weight lost before surgery was a nice even 230 pounds instead of 230.2.
Since the priority is healing I will be eating maintenance until at least October 14th and then I will decide if I need to go longer. My weight loss should actually be safer going forward because I won't have such a large and unknown amount of lean body mass (skin weight) affecting the scales and my decisions.
I now weigh would I would be projected to weigh on or around January 7th. That is an odd thought.5 -
I am so happy that you are doing this!....I don’t know your age but you are going to be able to do so much more living the rest of your life!....take it easy and heal....you are such a motivating person....I had a horrible binge this past week and I asked myself, “ WWND?”....( what would Novus do ? ).... and I got back on track more determined than ever....I dont want or need to go back to the way I was 40 lbs ago!....you are going to soar!3
-
WWND?
I love that, I'm going to do that too..1 -
That is flattering and pretty scary. What would I do? In the past I would fail. In more recent time I would just not allow my MANY mistakes to stop me.
The goal is for everyone to become their own expert. That is how I want to guide you because I can't tell anyone but me what will definitely work or at least what will work for 230 pounds. I don't even know if I am enough of an expert yet on me to get to some sort of a goal and stay there.3 -
WWND! I love that too!!1

@NovusDies Expert or no, you do a great job of helping folks -- as well as inspiring them.4
