Do you take measurements? I’m terrible at that myself but if you are losing FAT and gaining MUSCLE your weight may not change but your body composition will. A pound is a pound but muscle takes up less space! - Jpv, 11/22/19

NEVER GIVE UP! You can surprise yourself! I have.

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

*****
01/18 121.0 Got up late.
01/19. 122.0 Was in an all day sewing class yesterday. We had a buffet of deli meat and cheese. I keto-ed the best I could with the selection available and suspect this might be water. Didn’t drink enough water. My back was killing me when I got home but feels better now. No worries about the blip.
01/20 120.5 Meeting DD#2 and her husband for her late birthday lunch. Great Greek - YUM!
01/21 121.5 I haven’t been tracking food for a week, haven’t been to the gym since 1/13 and may have slacked off in water. I need to get my act together and not be complacent. I have failed too many times in the past! I have 1/2 of my Greek Salad left from yesterday.
01/22 122.5 Ate way too many carbs yesterday. I ate a snack at 9pm and went to bed - pork rind nachos so it was keto but I could not keep my eyes open and was falling asleep in my chair so went to bed at 9:40 and slept until 6AM! Meeting Amy at the gym today.
01/23 121.0 19 hour fast yesterday then had 1c cauliflower with butter and cheese and a 5 oz burger - no bun. It was quite satisfying.
01/24 120.0. Essentially ate carnivore yesterday.
01/25. 121.0 Sweet Tomatoes yesterday, out late last night and up too early this morning. Meeting friends at Hibachi Grill for his birthday today.
01/26 121.5 Yesterday was a terrible eating day. I was NOT impressed with Hibachi Grill at all. Tough meat, none of my favorite dishes - the least carby I have found at Asian places.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/17 …..189.9….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/18 …..189.9 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1423 Calories In / 2984 Calories Out. 42 Net Carbs. 21,302 Total Steps & 9.01 Total Miles. 10/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 1 minutes but it was very broken sleep. I walked for 2 hours & 7 minutes at the school burning 969 calories walking very briskly and I walked on my property for a short 12 minute walk at about 3.0 mph burning another 72 calories. Total extra burn 1041. Good luck everyone! Let’s make this one really count!

01/19 …..189.7 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1716 Calories In / 2125 Calories Out. 84 Net Carbs. 8,197 Total Steps & 3.47 Total Miles related to working. 12/13 fitbit step hours. I slept 4 hours & 3 minutes but I needed so much more. I walked steady for 15 minutes at 2.5 mph burning 65 calories which didn’t help my situation

01/20 …..189.7 ….. First a report on my son who is an adult autistic beautiful boy. First official weekly weigh-in this morning showed a 5.8 pound loss for him Yesterday’s stats: 1838 Calories In / 2436 Calories Out. 76 Carbs. 12,232 Total Steps & 5.18 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 6 minutes and woke up very tired. The school is not open to walk on Sat/Sun and the weather hit 11 degrees below zero by dark. Too cold & icy to walk outside yesterday. I cleaned cabins for a couple of hours. Fitbit saw it as 27 minutes of activity so that’s what I record.

01/21 …..189.6 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1808 Calories In / 2861 Calories Out. 48 Net Carbs. 21,306 Total Steps & 9.02 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 31 minutes falling asleep earlier last night. I woke up much better rested. I walked at the school at about 3.5 mph average for 116 minutes burning 711 Extra calories.

01/22 …..189.6 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1545 Calories In / 2953 Calories Out. 62 Net Carbs. 20,652 Total Steps & 8.74 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 47 minutes and it felt good. I walked for 14 minutes at home at about 3.0 mph burning 72 cals. I walked at the school for 113 minutes at 4.0 mph burning 775 cals, and I danced for 18 minutes burning 144 cals. [/color=crimson]Sample song: “Pontoon” by Little Big Town.[/color=crimson] Total extra calorie burn 991.

01/23 …..189.9 ….. I deserve this. I cracked a bit under the pressure of making my son’s dinner (which is in his plan, but not mine). Usually I do very well at home. This was a disappointment to myself. The only plus was that I did switch it up a bit to be more carb friendly for my share, but it was still over the top. Yesterday was also a rest day from the long walks. I worked on projects at home. I got A LOT done. Still more to do, but I’ve got to try to fit in a walk of some sort today at the school. I would love to finish up what I’m in the middle of at home, but need and miss the walk. Also, bad behavior should not be rewarded with a day off. Yesterday’s stats: 1889 Calories In / 2467 Calories Out. 84 Net Carbs. 13,269 Total Steps & 5.61 Total miles in my attempt to get 1000 steps per hour while working at home. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours, I slept 5 hours & 7 minutes and needed much much more. Fitbit recognized 2 sets of walking which totaled 40 minutes. The extra calorie burn was about 243 when combined.

01/24 …..190.8 ….. Dinner out with a friend after walking at the school for 90 minutes burning 568 extra calories. Incomplete logging. Fitbit says I burned 2595 Calories and walked 6.97 total miles over the course of the day. I slept 4 hours & 53 minutes and woke up dragging and tired. I am hoping that my diet levels will keep up with my exercise levels soon. Thanks to Quilting Jaine for the idea to make each round goal show a loss, ANY LOSS, from the end weight of the round before. I have amended my goals to reflect this very good idea. Now the mountain I must climb doesn’t seem so high.

01/25 …..191.6 ….. OMGosh, such a horrible and scary blood glucose drop last night that I actually had to have my son keep periodically checking on me. Even with his autism, I feel confident he can call 911 and relay a bit of my medical info to EMTs if necessary. I go over the instructions with him from time to time. My glucose dropped to 52 and I was so shaky and foggy in the eyes I had extreme difficulty testing my sugar. 3 buttons, before meal, after meal or fasting. I couldn’t stop shaking long enough to direct the buttons but before I could manipulate the darn thing, the machine popped up my warning of too low at 52. My smart side said follow the plan and eat my reserved carbs, my sick side said “shovel it in as fast as you can” which I foolishly did for 20 straight minutes until I could feel the difference. Upon a then calmer check my number was 101. 2 hours after using the shovel, my glucose was 159. Technically too high, but boy did I ever finally feel better. Getting my doctor involved means insulin. We’ve already had that talk. However, when my weight loss is going well and my numbers get too low, it’s the opposite and I am actually removed/reduced from medicine. The problem is, I’ve gained and I know that would mean insulin to regulate and I am not about to let that happen when I know I can get this train back on its tracks and start the loss again with a little smart maneuvering. Yes, I am going to be very careful, but let me tell you folks, sometimes it’s mild and not too bad when the sugar drops. However, sometimes it’s unbelievable. Last night was one of the worst! However, with T2D I know that diet and exercise plays a HUGE role so I am working that angle right now.

So, last night, naturally, my numbers on my calories and carbs were corrupted and overboard. My fitbit stats were as follows: 2771 Calories burned. 20,475 Total Steps & 8.66 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit step hours. I slept 5 hours & 26 minutes. I walked at the school for 2 hours & 31 minutes and burned 817 extra calories. Today I am feeling okay and will try to have a better day. The school is closed on Sat & Sun and it is frigid in the northern Michigan temps so no major walking today. I will try to do some in the house but it will be much less than usual. That might be a good thing today though. Keep going everyone! I’m still with you…..It’s just going to take me a little longer to run through the ribbon at the finish line.

01/26 …..190.0 ….. A better night last night. I had no sudden drop in glucose last night. Instead I felt a slow moving drop coming on (like a car in slo-mo, instead of a speeding one) and my reserved carb snacks did the trick. Clearly I can still see that my body is struggling with the adjustments back to diet plan & exercise, but it is adjustment that is badly needed. This is exactly how it was when I first started my journey so I know I can do this (again) safely. Yesterday’s stats: 1319 Calories In / 2329 Out. 34 Net Carbs. 10,071 Total Steps & 4.26 Total Miles. 11/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 2 minutes and woke up groggy and tired. Not enough water yesterday for sure. 2 separate 12 minute walks at home burned 168 calories done purposely to stay under my calorie goal. Generally, a bit of a rest day which my knees are especially appreciating. If I stay on track today, I should be able to end below last rounds ending weight (thanks Q-Jane), my new goal. That would keep me pointed in the right direction and for that I will be grateful. Thanks to everyone for their ideas, suggestions & research. I welcome it all! I will say this, an occasional social event with food or a travel day with restaurants does not cause this much damage. I must have really blown it way too often and in horrid quantities to be completely starting over with my body like this. Talk about yo-yo! My body, I think, didn’t know whether to burn fat or glucose for fuel because I was indulging too frequently between Thanksgiving and the New Year. I know I lost all consistency, looking back. I hope I am never that fickle again, and certainly not for that length of time! Lesson learned. #Willtrytostaystrongduringholidays. I just wish there was less travel in my life. Living in the boonies doesn't help and holidays require so much more travel. A goal for this year, ALL YEAR, make healthier choices in restaurants since they usually cannot be avoided. The suggestion to carry low carb snacks during travel to avoid gas station & convenience store JUNK really helped last year. Now, to get stronger and smarter in the restaurants! Especially at Christmas when there is so MUCH travel & shopping. The festivities DON'T BELONG ON MY PLATE. They Belong in my heart.

I’m in for another round.
R100 1/7/20 (-1.6)
R101 1/18/20 (-4.4)
Start Weight- 218.8lb
Current Weight- 212.8lb)
End of Round 102 Goal- 209lb
Ultimate Goal- 173lb

01/18- 213.8 (+1.0lb) Gain from yesterday, but happy with the overall trend. Meal out tonight, which could be testing. Going to have a very light lunch (make sure I go to the gym) so that I can have a decent meal without feeling like I’m restricting myself so much. Won’t drink any alcohol though- it amazes me how much better I feel even though it’s only been 4 weeks since my last drink.
01/19- 213.2lb (-0.6) Stuck to good choices for the meal last night and drank AF beer. Can’t seem to be finding time to go to the gym. In the past when I’ve lost weight I’ve always felt that I must go to the gym and indeed I enjoy it and love the benefits. However, this is the first time I feel that I’m getting a handle on my eating habits and changing for the better, rather than excessively exercising to try and chase poor food choices. Plan today though is to break my gym ‘mini break’, cook all my lunches for the week and get ahead with some work which will enable me to spend more time at the gym.
01/20- 213.4 (+.2lb) Another slight gain from yesterday, however only minimal. I did run (jog) a 5K yesterday so could be water weight. Was well within my calories. Went to the gym which I enjoyed. Plan for today is to continue to drink loads of fluids and make the right choices when I go out tonight with old work friends.
01/21- 212.6lb (-0.8lb) Back down after a couple of ‘gains’. Went out last night and did have a burger with chips, but only over my calories by around 250. Didn’t drink, which now puts me at nearly 6 weeks AF. So nice not to wake up with a fuzzy head. Plan today is to eat a couple of hundred calories lower than allowed; to make up for yesterday. No gym today- as I’ve got football coaching.
01/22- 212.0 (-.6lb) A new low weight; hopefully this trend will continue for the remaining days of this challenge. Drank loads of water yesterday and even joined in with the 1 mile a day challenge at work (I work in a school). Going to add that in to my routine now as well😀. Finding that I’m eating pretty much the same foods breakfast and lunch each day, varying up the evening meal. I’ll change up my lunches next week to prevent a bit of eating boredom.
01/23- 211.8lb (-0.2lb) Another small loss, good for motivation! I’m doing much better with my water intake and I’m starting to feel the difference in how my clothes feel. Another half a stone and people may start to see it too!
01/24- 211.2lb (-0.6lb) Good to keep the trend going. Think I’ve set the expectation too high for loss this challenge. Will now aim for 210lb which is achieveable in the remainder of the time.
01/25- 211.8lb (+.6lb) Bounce back up. Ate below calories and drank loads of fluid, although didn’t sleep much more than an hour last night. Hopefully a bit more rest and sleep tonight and the scale should go back down.
01/26- 211.4lb (-.4lb) I’ve been struggling a bit for motivation the last day or so, not in terms of food choices, but in terms of logging. As a result, I’ve not really been eating lunch, rather, I’ve been picking at things. Plan for today is to get a chest session on at the gym as well as a 20 min run. All lunches to be cooked for the week in advance today. Quinoa and butternut Swuash Salad is the plan. Hoping to end with another loss tomorrow before round 103 .

My body is my ally

R101 EW: 72.9kg

Day/Weight/Comment
01/18 72.6kg - 8km, no yoga, 16.5hrs fast
Forgot to post. Had friends over for dinner&game night and ended up eating very late.
01/19 73.1kg - 4km run, YWA day 14, 11.5hrs fast
Gain explained by late night shenanigans: But it was a good end to the week: Ran 20km, walked/ran 75k steps and did 5 days of YWA
01/20 73.1kg - rest day, 16hrs fast, YWA day 15
Also good end to the week: average weight is down, only 0.1kg, but down is down

01/21 73.2kg - 45mins run, no yoga, 16hrs fast
Ugh,not what I was expecting. But went for a great run this morning, so my body may not weigh what I would like it to, but it did me proud.
01/22 73.3kg - YWA day 16, 12.5hr fast 🙄
Ok, time to face the facts. I've been stress eating during the day and 'rewarding' myself in the eve. But I'll face the facts from tomorrow. Today was a bad day, tomorrow will be a new one.
01/23 73.3kg - speed run (6km total), 15hrs fast, no yoga
The weight is just reflecting my behaviour. Couldn't fast longer due to work schedule (and didn't plan for that last night). I will be better with that and check my schedule for the next day before I decide what time I stop eating in the evening.
Hooray: Had a great run this morning, got my anger, anxiety and stress out of the system - for today at least
01/24 73.6kg - YWA day 17, 17hrs fast, no run
Ugh again. In the words of my friend who just started keto: "why am I not thin yet?" 😋
Oh instant gratification would be nice, but I know that won't happen with weight. I know the weight reflects my behaviour and unfortunately, that has been less than perfect. I wish I could blame someone else for this.
01/25 DNW - 17.5hrs fast ,YWA day 18

01/26 73.3kg - 9km run, YWA day 19, 18.5hrs fast
Yesterday didn't turn out too bad and this week actually ended really well. Weight aside, I achieved great stuff: ran more than 20km this week, walked/ran more than 70k steps, average fasting time for the past 7 days is 16.1hrs.

Day/Weight/Comment:

01/18: 130.0 - smack dab on my original goal weight this morning. I’ve decided to eat at or below maintenance for a couple weeks, continue to work on strength training and then possibly losing another 5 lbs. Had a fantastic first day back to the gym yesterday, an hour total including 20 minutes elliptical.

01/19: 130.0 - this maintenance thing is interesting. I feel like I've been eating so much more and yet, the scale stays the same, it's hard to wrap my head around. Thinking of still eating below maintenance every few days until I trust this weight.

01/20: 130.0 - still here. Ate below calories yesterday but did not work out at all, just did my elbow physical therapy. Heading to the gym this morning, can not wait.

01/21: 130.8 - ate well all weekend, looking forward to being able to exercise more often. I did do my elbow P/T at least once every day. I know it takes time but, ugh, I’m impatient.

01/22: 129.8 - I swam laps yesterday for about half an hour (with breaks) and wow, what a great workout. Bonus, my elbow was able to take it. Went to the gym this morning and had a fantastic legs/abs workout with 30 minutes elliptical. I would do that every day if I could but that's how I get injured. Another bonus, the first set of deadlifts were noticeably easier than they had been. Still haven't missed a day of P/T yet, not that I see any difference but I'll keep with it.

01/23: 129.4 - off to swim some laps. Did my elbow p/t last night, there might be some itsy bitsy signs of improvement...

01/24: 130.0 - got totally derailed by a migraine yesterday, spent the day in bed after swimming the laps in the morning. Today is a much better day. Went to the gym and had a great workout, added some leg presses and some weight to my hip thrusts.

01/25: 130.4 - right back where I started. Not sure I’ll be able to bring this down over the weekend, we have a big event tonight. Maybe Sunday will be a good day to reset.

01/26: DNW - I'm trying a new thing where I don't weigh every day. Will weigh in tomorrow. Instead, focusing on meeting my calorie goals and being active. Hit my calorie goal and did some gentle stretching and elbow physical therapy. Could have eaten more protein.

Round 102
Female, 42, 5’9”, Central Ohio

1/1/19: 213.4
1/1/20: 209.5
UGW 170

Round102: BW 210.1 – EW ???.??

Day/Weight/Comment
01/18 - 210.1
01/19 – 207 (-3.1)
01/20 – 209.1 (+2.1), Sunday info: 2908 steps, 2 of 12, 6hr20m (76); I have gotten extremely lazy since I was last here. Need to get myself in gear and try again.

01/21 – 207.5 (-1.6), Monday info: 4646 steps, 8 of 12, 6hr56m (83); Since I had Monday off work, I tried to do house-walking every time my Fitbit beeped. (It’s wayyyyy too cold to go outside in Ohio unless you’re crazy.) I rode my recumbent bike. I logged everything that I put into my mouth. I’m of those who gets SAD (seasonal affect disorder) in the winter and it’s been pretty bad this past weekend. ☹

01/22 – 207.1 (-0.4), Tuesday info: 5748 steps, 6 of 12, 5hr35m (71); Back to work. 10 hour day. Lots of sitting. Meant to get up and walk when Fitbit alerted me but that didn’t always happen. I rode my recumbent bike and logged all my food for 2nd day. I did NOT get to bed at a decent time though. I’m still a work in progress but seeing positive signs of holding myself accountable again.

01/23 – 205.6 (-1.5), Wednesday info: 7269 steps, 11 of 12, 6hr24m (76); The only hour in which I did NOT hit 250 steps was from noon to 1pm. I think that’s a NSV for sure! Was I mindful in actually getting up from my desk every hour? Nope. My work day was just that NUTS….then I was making sure to house-walk after I got home. Got some time in on the recumbent bike. First time I have made it over 7k steps in one day that did not involve horseback riding. Food choices have been good. I even allowed myself room for ice cream before bed and 2 Lindor’s peppermint/white chocolates after I was in bed. *guilty pleasure* Still could do better on sleep though. One day at a time.

01/24 – 204.2 (-1.4), Thursday info: 5791 steps, 9 of 12, 5hr53m (72); I had a 10+ hour work day so it was late when I got home. I was uber tired but I managed to ride the recumbent bike and stay within my calories. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to bed when I wanted to. I had missed the evening weather report so I wanted to catch the 10pm forecast. (Should have gone to bed an hour earlier.) Worried about bad weather for Saturday (barn day and 250 mile round-trip commute). #HateWinter

01/25 – 201.6 (-2.6), Friday info: 5389 steps, 10 of 12, 4hr19m (64); Friday was a very stressful short day at work. I had a major headache by the time I got home and I just didn’t want to adult anymore. I skipped family dinner and I skipped riding the bike. I went to bed late since I had to catch the late weather report to prepare for my drive to the barn Saturday morning. (Would we have rain or ice?) I slept like crap! I did stay under my calories for the day.

01/26 – 201.6 (0), Saturday info: 11,155 steps, 9 of 12, 11hr23m (73); Saturday is barn day, as usual. We lost my show horse Spark (Dollywood Jac) in mid-June so I don’t have a horse in training but I still go and ride on Saturdays. (He got sick and had to be put down. Now I'm saving my pennies to buy my own horse, hopefully this fall.) I have a Fitbit Charge 3 now so it’s interesting to see my heartrate info for barn day. I had 7hr15m of fat burn, 8m of cardio, and 1m of peak (1903 calories burned). I ate WAY more food than on a typical work day but I burned wayyyyy more than a typical day. I was exhausted and went to bed early and don’t set an alarm on Sunday so therefore I recorded a higher # of sleep hours than usual.

Started MFP 01/01/2020 - 209.5
Round 101 -208.4 -> 207.2 (-1.2)

Round 102 Starting Weight 1/17: 207.2
1/18 DNW (travel)
1/19 DNW (travel)
1/20 DNW (travel)
1/21 206.2 -- Whew! My losses have been so slow compared to previous weight loss attempts I was wondering if my maintenance calories had fallen to a really low level. Nice to see this method (track, exercise, journal) will produce results
1/22 205.8 -- happy to see another loss! Need to be careful with calories today, though, as I’ve skipped my morning exercise due to a massive blister. ☹️
1/23 205.2 — whoohoo! It’s like my body finally said “oh, she’s serious about this, guess it’s time to finally get going”. 😁. I won’t expect a loss everyday, but nice to have momentum for these past 3!
1/24 205.0 — TOM and my body is dropping weight, I’m happy. Thought my body composition scale was really confused by my TOM, but actually it was just my account finally accepted I am a female and so it changed all the calculations. My body fat went up 10 percentage points!! But the ranges look more realistic now so I guess all is good.
1/25 204.6 — happy and surprised with another loss! After last round with up and down and slow going this one is very rewarding. Just need to remember it won’t stay this nice, steady down slope. The only guarantee is that life WILL interfere at some point. Just hopefully it will hold out long enough for me to lock in my habits first!
1/26 205.6— not at all surprised. Party for my 50th yesterday, gave myself permission to have anything I wanted. Mostly that was champagne, with whipped cream and crepes and chocolate on the side. First time I’ve been hungover in years. Taking it easy today, will work to stay under calorie target while concentrating on protein, and start back with good exercise tomorrow.

Goal for Round 102 - to continue to track, exercise, and journal. Hoping for another pound (get to 205) by end of the challenge

Day/Weight/Comment
01/18--205.0 I barely drank any water yesterday. My upper back is still sore from yesterday, but I did take some pain meds and used a heating pad last night and it definitely helped. Hubby and I are going to paint the laundry room/storage room this weekend. I'm going to try and go out for a walk today, but it's supposed to be raining all day so who knows.
01/19--204.8 Upper back feeling better. Hubby finished 1/2 of the painting, and I will do some more painting today. Strength coach today.
01/20--204.5 I had a dexa scan on Friday and frustratingly, my body fat % hardly changed from my last scan. While, I did lose a good % of body fat, because I also lost lean muscle mass, my body fat % basically stayed the same from my last scan. I talked to my strength coach yesterday about the results, and it was clear that I'm not eating enough protein. So, my first goal is to get my protein amount to 100g per day, I need to eat more than 100g, but it's a start.
01/21--204.5 106g of protein yesterday. It took a bit of maneuvering to make sure that I got in my protein, which included a late evening snack of roasted chicken, but I got my protein in. Rest day today.
01/22--204.3 105g of protein yesterday. It was a little easier to get my protein in as I was a little better at planning it out. But it was more difficult in that the increased protein made me feel fuller throughout the day, such that by lunch time I didn't want to eat anymore, even though I hadn't eaten enough calories for the day, and I still needed to eat more protein to reach my protein goal. I know it will take my body a little while to get used to the increase in protein, so I just need to stick to it. Strength coach today.
01/23--204.5 100g of protein yesterday. I had a great workout yesterday. Rest day today.
01/24--205.0 101g of protein yesterday. I am treating my 100g of protein goal as a game. Last night I needed 1g of protein to reach my goal, so I started looking in my cupboard and reading all of the nutritional labels. Then I found out that one piece of my dark chocolate has 1g of protein, I was so excited...so of course I had to have 2 pieces.
01/25--206.1 101g of protein. I bought some prepared food for dinner last night, so there definitely was some extra sodium. I am going for afternoon tea today, so I expect a jump tomorrow as well.
01/26--207.0 I had a great time at afternoon tea yesterday, and not surprised about the jump on the scale, but now I'm back on track. I've been to see my strength coach today, and I'm definitely getting stronger. Goal for today is to work on my water and protein.

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!

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:
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!

2020
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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

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!😂

IsMollyReallyHungry · January 2020

@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.

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.

Happy to have a go at this again! Last round I set a goal of 57.9 which I achieved today, one day late. These ten days goal is 57.5 kg realistically, 57 kg if I am being ambitious!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/18 - 57.9 kg
01/19 - 58.2 kg
01/20 - 58.4 kg (I was out of control with my eating this past weekend. I am determined to be good henceforth).
01/21 - 58.2 kg
01/22 - 57.7 kg (yay! Good healthy diet plus a killer exercise does help)
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)
01/27 - 57.1 kg (sickness continues but I am getting better, yay.)

Will meet again for next round!

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.

Daily goals for this round:
1) Stay hydrated.
2) Log carefully and maintain a calorie deficit.
3) Walk or exercise 30+ minutes.
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.

CW 140.5
RGW <137 (Hoping to drop Christmas & steroid bloat, so not as aggressive as it may look!)

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.

01/19 126.2 lbs Again, sticking here exactly. But Girl Scout cookie season is here, and we've committed to buying tons of boxes from my neice, so... challenges are coming my way!
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!

01/20 398.0
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

Total change this round: (-3.6) (SW 398 CW 394.0 GW 390)

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.

In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.

In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs

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!"

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!
23 jan: 85.5 kg; normal day, normal eating, back on track
24 jan: 86.0 kg; busy day at work, didn't drink enough, ate too much chocolate and other sweet stuff out of boringness en being tired in the evening.....
