69 years old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion... ...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.
We used to walk 5 miles a day. A pinched nerve and back surgery side-lined me for about a year. Then I had back surgery. Now I'm waiting to get my hip fixed. Hip Doc said surgery in April. Ugh! I can't do any walking or biking...both kill me. I see my personal trainer three times a week. She is taking it very slow and easy with me.
I have March 10th as my hip surgery date...much better than April!

Day/Weight/Comment:
1/18: 149.2 (+1) - Cheat day extraordinaire! Movie with darling daughter so of course popcorn and candy. Sorry not sorry. She’s back to college on Monday and I got to spend time with her! Worth every calorie. Bummer is today I am in 9 hours of tax return training to become a volunteer preparer. I hate sitting for that long!!!!😵
1/19: 148.0 (-1.2) This is not going to last lol! 😂 I sat on my fanny all day in a training class yesterday and had a nice dinner with wine. But that is weight for you! Today, run and gym and good food choices.
1/20:148.2 (+.2) Another week, another chance to kill it with good food, exercise and self care. Let’s get it💪💪
1/21: 147.2 (-1.0) Rollercoaster scale…..went to yoga yesterday so the chill feels maybe helped relax my hold on fat. Today, strength circuit and cardio. Sleep is always better without alcohol!
1/22: 146.8 (-0.4) Ate ok today. Prolly could have eaten less. Had a couple of drinks….not sure why, but feeling stressed. Time for another yoga class. More water. Cardio day.🙌
1/23: 146.8 (0) Planned my eating around my book club so I could have the snacks and drinks. Good plan and workout. I will say that I do so much better sticking to the plan when I am not social. But alas, I can’t hide under a rock. I have to learn to do this MFP thing always, everywhere, forever. Cheers🍾
1/24: 148.2 (+1.4) Not that surprised….a couple of social outings and drinks and TMI alert, retaining too much if you know what I mean 😣 I always do better when I can control what is served. 2 types of cheesy pasta was not it. Oh well, love my friends so I will just get back to it this weekend.
1/25:147.8 (-.4) By Friday I am so sick of cooking and thinking about it and eating chicken! We had small filets and crabcakes. Yum. I will see that tomorrow. Oh well.🙄
1/26: 148.8 (+1) Who doesn’t love pizza. My eating has been very comfort food related – think the news is stressing me out but I make excuses. I ran 7 miles today so I will be get back on food track tomorrow and just keep on trying. Dear husband leaves Wed for a ski trip – I will eat lots of veggies and healthy foods, even though he eats healthy I can just nibble on salads.🍕➡➡➡🥗

Back on it today. Too much indulgence yesterday 😂
Never give up! Never give in!2018:2020
My goal was to get down below 160, to allow me to enjoy the indulgences of holidays and celebrations.
2019
I exceeded that and have been below 150 for most of the last 2 months.
In 2018, I put on 10 lbs over the last 2 months of the year.
In 2019, I consistently lost weight since the end of July. I put on about 4lbs over the Christmas break, but was still below my original 2019 goal.
That's a WIN in my book!
I need this more than ever now that I am in maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.

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.

01/18 264.2 There’s the water bounce dropping, plus a little more. Tom still hasn’t arrived, but at least I’m not holding onto water like the last few times it decided to be late. My goal is to see some new lows this round.
01/19 262.6 When I said yesterday that I wanted to see some new lows this round I wasn’t thinking that I would see them so soon! Though this could in part be to sleeping in an hour later than usual, I’ll be happy if I don’t see a little bounce tomorrow when I weigh at my new usual time. I figured out my eating schedule so that I’m not overly hungry by dinner time and trying not to eat everything in sight. My nsv yesterday was buying some new mean’s sweatpants in large and top in xtra large. The shirt looks a little stuffed sausage on me, but it will soon fit better, and I don’t mind wearing it in the house.
01/20 262.4 I weighed at my usual time this morning and I’m just happy there wasn’t a bounce up from the different weigh in times.
01/21 260.8 This whoosh is brought to me by another later weigh in. I was very tired when I got up this morning, so I went back down for a short bit. I am so glad I did because I feel 100 times better and have energy which has been missing lately. Plus it brought me this nice whoosh down.
01/22 261.0 The small bounce is okay, I was a little high on sodium yesterday. I’ve already hit my goal for the month and anything more is happy extra toward my goal for the year.
01/23 260.4 And back down plus some. I’m only a little bit from the first big goal I wanted to hit this year and I’m going to work really hard to not be derailed by the weekend.
01/24 260.4 I’m good with this, especially since I have some inflammation and soreness. My dog pulled me into a small hole last night, and I’m little sore from that and the extra activity I did. On top of that I had a seizure last night, the first in long awhile, and it has me all sorts of off this morning. Today will be a self-care day, I just have to work to not have it turn into an excuse to eat everything in sight.
01/25 263.6 I was a bit over on calories yesterday and on top of that my dinner was very late, high carb, high sodium. I’m feeling much better today and I know this bounce up will be gone in no time.
01/26 263.8 Tom finally showed up this morning, only about two weeks late.

I'm still behaving like I've lost the key to my brain with carbs. Miraculously calories remain under control; likely because I'm not snacking.
While my goal is fasting a few days weekly I'm not there yet. I've been mixing different fasting methods. Eating less frequently has reduced episodes of compulsive eating.
This round I'm getting the carbs back under control. I'm also working on my fasting hours in hope of finding a workable routine.
01/24. 173.6
If anyone remembers what a record is my comments sound like a broken one. Carbs only yesterday but well below my calorie limit. Quick & easy with no prep or clean up. I'm bloated and retaining water as expected. However, I managed 20 hours fasting with a four hour eating window.
A decent meal plan was in my head but no prep so it was bread & butter substitute and a cookie. I need to get a day ahead of meal time. Otherwise I'll keep grabbing what's easy because I really want a meal within my eating window.
I'll keep working on it until I get it right. Hoping to make a 16-20 hour fasting period followed by a good full meal my norm.
01/25 173.8
Carb control at last but my calories have been too low even on the high carb days. I have a good meal plan but I've been a total space cadet managing it.
There's so much to keep on top of at the moment but the fat won't come off until I properly work my plan. I'm not focused because of urgent issues. Some deadlines are more costly than a botched meal plan. However, I've been sure to weigh daily and keep my food diary up to date.
01/26. 173.4
I've done well with my fasting periods over the last few days. Net carbs are back on track but I'm at risk tonight. It's either fix what I'm craving or spend a buck and blow my macros. An easy store bought treat would be both comforting and free up time. I need to cram 36hrs of productivity into a 24hr day (mins sufficient sleep) with about 4hrs of energy.
Big sigh! We must manage our lives while caring for ourselves. Lack of self care is why I'm struggling to drop this 33.6lbs I've slowly and steadily re-gained.
Calories, appetite control, and liquids are all on track. Still, it's not okay to drop the ball on net carbs because the scale is moving and everything else is fine. Once I settle for less it gets easier to screw up. I must keep reminding myself. Fingers crossed I'll hold it together tonight.

@merph518, I think the disagree is USUALLY a scrolling mistake. It is irksome to see. I was thinking, maybe when we start a new round, we all should hit disagree on everyone's post the first day. We then become desensitized to it. Of course, post a response for true thoughts.
And don't hit disagree!😂8 -
@kecward78 - I wish I had your problem. I would not be afraid of losing too much weight...it will eventually slow down.
You weigh over 275 pounds, you have a lot of body fat which means you are going to burn fat when exercising, eating right, etc Drinking water helps with so much overall. So, think about it like this. Since I weigh more than you, I can say this, I am 2 overweight people. So I can lose weight at the rate of 2 overweight people. If we do everything perfect or even 80% to 90%. – it means we could lose a pound or more everyday for a while if we are eating cleanly, exercising, etc. With you being a man, men lose weight faster than women in the beginning of a new eating plan, lol. See link below and keep up the good work!! You are doing great! :flowerforyou:

"no one was willing to disagree with him"
Well I am not sure why hitting "disagree" is a problem. I just wish they would take it off period, that way no one would have a issue with it. I guess depending how you look at it, it can be negative. But imo, it is not necessarily negative. We can all agree to disagree on certain matters. And on the disagrees I saw, it was not that big of a deal. It is all in how you look at it. This is such a positive group, I don't think anyone meant any harm by it. I choose to believe it was all positive. That is my 2 cents.

1/20 157.8 lbs Yesterday, was a terrible food day...
1/21 156.8 lbs Yesterday was a good food day!!!
1/22 156.8 lbs
1/23 156.8 lbs
1/24 156.8 lbs
1/25 157.8 lbs Hard to believe that I'm happy with a weight gain, but I am. It's been incredibly crazy & stressful the last few days, & I'm just happy NOT to be up by 5-10 lbs after today & yesterday.
So, if I can weigh in at 156.8 lbs or less at the end of this 10 days... I will actually be happy... this is because it's been very stressful & crazy and just have given in to myself.
It is 5:10pm on Saturday, Jan. 25th. We are going to my son's home for dinner & my brother & his wife from out of town... will be meeting us there, too. So, there will be a lot of food & my Daughter N Law loves to bake desserts.
I am commiting through this thread to only have a small serving of the brisket that my son has been smoking all day, and no potato salad. I will eat 2 servings of the green beans (I think 1/2 cup per serving), and just a bite of a cookie or cake... depending what she is making & only water to drink. I will not have any of the wine.
1/26 157.8 lbs Did pretty good...

01/23 - 57.9 kg (surprised with the rise so must be temporary)
01/24 - 57.7 kg ( ate a lot of wholesome food and worked out. I am sick since yesterday and couldn’t workout if I limit my calories. But was still at maintenance eating range).
01/25 - 57.2 kg (sick and no appetite so we will see about how permanent this loss is)
01/26 - 57.0 kg (still sick. Can’t wait for this sickness to be over)

Round 102 (24 for me)
Wrapping up my break this weekend and moving ahead into a new semester. As much as I’ve enjoyed the time off, I’m excited to meet my students and take on a new set of experiences and challenges.
I’ve been playing around with my calorie allowance lately, starting to transition to a smaller deficit and slower rate of weight loss. I’ll continue to make adjustments as I add to my exercise routine this spring. The key for me is to make small changes that fit my lifestyle and are sustainable long term.

4) Cross something off my "to do" list
Day/Weight/Comment
01/18 – 172.0 – Good to start with a drop, even though it’s only back to where I started the last round. Lazy Saturday, but I got a lot of reading done before watching a movie with my husband. Wine and chocolate put me a bit over on calories.
01/19 – 172.6 – Too many calories. Didn’t bother to log, but I did manage to squeeze in a walk with my grandson.
01/20 – 173.2 – Post-weekend bounce and early weigh-in. Last day of my winter break. Grandkids had off from school, so we spent a couple of hours at the rec center and then baked chocolate chip cookies. Had two still warm from the oven, and then sent the rest home with the boys. Still stayed under my calorie limit, and I have lots of healthy meals planned for the rest of the week.
01/21 – 172.2 – Headed back down, but maybe not steadily. I’d planned to cook, but my meeting ran late and I wound up getting takeout again. Still well under my calorie limit, but pretty salty, so we’ll see what the scale says tomorrow. Met with the trainer today for my fitness assessment and workout plan.
01/22 – 173.0 – Well, that what pastrami, cole slaw, and a pickle will do, but I’m getting tired of riding this roller coaster. Under my calorie limit and macros all in the green today. Short indoor walk and got a few chores done.
01/23 – 173.4 – Sigh… Feeling stuck and a little discouraged, but determined to stick with the plan.
01/24 – 173.0 – Grandkids had the day off from school so my daughter and I took them to a museum this afternoon. I was up early, so I managed to get a few things done around the house before I left. Fast food lunch and dinner with my sister’s family tonight. Logged it all and came in just under maintenance calories.
01/25 – 172.6 – Back down to my ending weight from the last challenge. I’d love to see even a small loss at the end of this round. Rained all day, so I didn’t get a walk, but I did a few errands, stayed hydrated, and met my calorie goals.
01/26 – 173.2 – Not sure why I had a bounce this morning but I expect another one tomorrow. Ate a bit over my maintenance calories with sangria and dessert. I’m pretty much resigned to a gain this round, but I won't let that derail me. I’ll be back on track tomorrow.

Hi. My name is Trina.
I have decided that I have finished my big old holiday back slide. I'm feeling just about ready to get back on track. First thing is to get back to logging everything. Second is to start eating right again! Glad to have you all at my back on this journey!

Day/Weight/Comment:
RSW 140.5
1/18: 141.5 Hoping this is just going to set me up for a good loss this round. Starting the eat right plan again!
1/19: 140.5 Easing back to better eating. It rained all day yesterday, so I couldn't walk. Did about an hour on the elliptical instead....I prefer walking!
1/20: 139.5 Fast walk through the neighborhood hills yesterday and today. Haven't eaten quite as well today, since my husband and son were both on vacation.
1/21: 140.5 Good walk yesterday....but a bit high on calories and food. Hoping to be lower tomorrow, but since I'm taking steroids today, I won't hold my breath. Tomorrow is last round of chemo!!! Yay!
1/22: 138.5
1/23: 138 Read posts yesterday, but didn't get a chance to check in. I finished the last round of chemo yesterday, so in about 12 days chemo and it's symptoms should be behind me! It hasn't been awful, but it hasn't been a cake walk either (although it has involved a bit too much cake!) I met with the radiologist yesterday, and got the go-ahead to start radiation in 12 days, which means I can be done before my son's spring break. I guess I should be thankful that he is a practical kid who really wants to tour colleges and not go to the beach, since the beach immediately following radiation isn't probably the best idea. But, I think on our own, my husband and I would still vote beach!
1/24: 138 Ate pretty well yesterday, carbs in control--which actually made it easier for me!
1/25: 138.5 -- I'm thinking this might be a bump up from exercise? Ate well yesterday. Did and hour of yoga and a 7 mile walk. Feeling a bit woozy today from the chemo, but still planning on walking today.
1/26: 136 -- Still feeling pretty pooped from the chemo. Walked yesterday and again today. But also spent a lot of time laying around.

01/20 DNW
01/21 127lbs I'm not proud of it, but I didn't weigh in yesterday because I was worried I'd overdone on cookies and I just didn't want to face the scale. I know, I know. Old habits die hard! Relieved to see I'm doing fine. If "fine" means staying at the higher end of my maintenance range indefinitely!
01/22 125.2 lbs Yay! Nice to see my goal weight for this round, even if only for one day.
01/23 125.2 lbs Hey, two days in a row! Motivating.
01/24 **JUST REALIZED I MISSED A DAY HERE?! LOL! **
01/25125.2 lbs Three days in a row?! Hmmm, the real test will be this weekend.
01/26 124.6 lbs Cookies every day, thank goodness I'm tracking and staying in my range. I know the key to my success has been to allow daily treats. I'm simply not that good at waiting until the end of the week to enjoy dessert!

01/21 396.4 (-1.6) – I am back It has been a struggle. Trying to get back on track. I see my therapist tonight. I am up 2 pounds from when I saw her on the 7th. I am moving forward. Today is a new day. :flowerforyou:
01/22 395.4 (-1.0)
01/23 394.4 (-1.0) – I really have not been keeping my dairy all the way but I have been eating cleanly for the most part. I have been doing plenty of walking but not getting in my step goal. I am gradually getting back in the swing of it. Not sure if I told you all starting in February, I will be seeing my therapist weekly. It is covered by my insurance except for the co-pay so I might as well take advantage of it. I have plenty in my FSA so I should be able to do it. This should keep me more accountable for sure. I told her I am determined to meet my goals this year. We did the math and in order to reach my goal on average I would need to lose at least 2.5 to 3 pounds per 10 days in the challenges. In the beginning I will lose more. This is completely doable and a realistic goal. I just must stay focused. I know with my Jehovah, friends, MFP support team, my therapist, and my determination I am going to move forward this year no matter what. BTW has anyone tasted the new Kale crunch salad at Chick-fil-a? It is so good!! I am addicted for sure!! That is a healthy addiction. Try it if you have not. Hope all is well with everyone, it has been snowy in Shy town!
01/24 394.0 (-0.4) – Yesterday was not a good eating day but a great walking day. I got over 8000 steps in and my goal is 6500. I burned over 1400 calories, so I guess that is why I still lost weight. It may still show up tomorrow. We will see. I am logging today. I am watching the Australian open -- tennis, so my sleep is crap!! But I am planning for this weekend not to eat any fast foods. I am going to shot for getting as close to 390 as possible. If not, I will take anything but a gain I want to maintain the 4 pounds lose. I must drink plenty of water, focus on clean eating, and intentional movement.
01/25 394.2 (+0.2)
01/26 394.4 (+0.2) – Hope tomorrow I will be down. I thought I would be up more. Fingers crossed a maintain. Until tomorrow! Good night

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 lbs.My 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.

Day/Weight/Comment
18 jan: 84.9 kg; Probably not very realistic.... slept in, so late weigh-in. Came home very, very tired after work yesterday, so no workout done. Had more water intake during the day, had some extra steps, but not happy with the total amount and above all, I ate above my calorie goal. But, today is a new day
19 jan: 84.9 kg; maybe it is a bit realistic... worked around the house yesterday, cleaned, run some errons and relaxed. Love the weekends.
20 jan: 85.1 kg; back to normal weig-in time.
21 jan: 85.6 kg; no words....
22 jan: 85.9 kg: 😱 teambuilding, 5 course Italian meal cooking togheter with pesto, ravioli, lots of cheese, tiramisu, cookies and so on. Was fun, but way tooooo much kcal!
