Round 101 - Jan 08 - Jan 17 EW 159.7
Round 102 - Jan 18- 27.20 - 160.1
01/18 - 159.6 - I am really back on track after the holidays, and hoping to get back to or below my November weight. I hit 156.1 in September, so it kind of stings that a few holiday parties undid all of that hard work.
796 left over for calories
01/19 - 158.4 - this motivates me to stay on track.
117 left over for calories
01/20 - 159.0
366 left over for calories
01/21 - 161.0 - Thought that I had seen the last of the 160s, but apparently not. Hopefully just a blip.
566 left over for calories
01/22 - 160.0 - MFP keeps telling me for the past 5 months that I will be 145 in 5 weeks - That would be so great.
597 left over for calories
01/23 - 157.5 - Wow, back down to my round 97 weight from Dec 08. That is motivating!
601 left over for calories
01/24 - 157.5
390 calories left over
01/25 - 157.2
64 left over for calories
01/26 - 158.8
593 left over for calories
01/27 - 160.1 - Not a good end to the 10 days at all! Actually feeling leaner.
4090 left over in calories for 9 days (don't know today's yet) - that is more than a pound worth of calories, so frustrated. Definitely liking adding those up.8 -
@tiabirdie56 That explanation seems pretty plausible actually, thank you. I'm fine if it's just my post, but I saw it on a couple others on the previous page and that just seemed frustrating/uncalled for.
There's enough people out there who aren't super technically savvy though who may have inadvertently clicked it by mistake.8 -

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.
01/27--208.1 There's more of the water retention from my afternoon tea 2 days ago. 100g of protein.

Day/Weight/Comment
1/18: 217.4 (-1.2)/18.2 (-0.1). Alright. I'm going to start going to the gym again when I want to go. My wife is not reliable when it comes to coming home on time and really wanting to go to the gym, and waiting for her makes me feel lazy. She's out this morning, and I'm headed off to the gym.

1/26: 220.4 (+2.2)/18.5 (+0.2)
1/27: 219.4 (-1.0)/18.4 (-0.1). The struggle is real. Life has exploded out of control during these last 10 days. I AM, however, committed to being here. I weighed every day, even if I did not have the time/energy to come in and post. Time is still REALLY limited, and the final episode of my $#!+ show will probably air on Sunday night. I don't have time to do it, but I'm going to try to head to the gym tonight after work. I got new glasses on Friday, though! It's nice to be able to see REALLY clearly again.

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.
01/27: 130.0 - seems like my body likes it at this number. I finally did an upper body workout this morning, had taken 2 weeks off due to elbow pain. It's a little bit sore but I took it easy and think it's an ok sort of sore. Excited to move forward and not be dealing with this injury!10 -

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 fewest** non-carby options I I have found at Asian places.
01/27 121.5 **edited Yesterday I fasted until about 3:30 then made my own version of crustless pizza. My OMAD10 -
SW-242
42yrs old 5’4”
Goal 121- half of my former self
Ultimate Goal- Maintain under 130
Goal every round is to get that average down by any number but seeing 145 would definitely make me do a happy dance (how many calories does that burn?)
R101 Average- 148.1
R102 Average- 147.0
01/18- 148.2
01/19- 146.6
01/20- 144.4- this is total dehydration!!

01/22- 148.0
01/23- 148.0
01/24- 146.4
01/25- 147.0
01/26- 147.8
01/27- 147.0- I’m happy with both a lower end weight and a lower average. I’m going to just keep plugging along and trusting that if I keep working on it I will get to my goal no matter how long it takes. I do miss the rapid loss with higher calories and less exercise that was the beginning of this journey. But it’s that success that motivates me to keep pushing.

My biggest challenge this entire MFP journey is going to begin tomorrow. I've lived in New England for 20 years but originally from a small town outside of Atlanta, GA where my family still lives. I'm heading "home" tomorrow on a 24 hour train ride - crazy, but I'm frightened of flying (and what makes this even crazier is I fly free from my years at an airline ). I do love the train though - just wish the trip was a little shorter. There are so many things that trigger my binging when I go to Georgia: emotions, being tired, stress, knowing I'm leaving, and eating when I'm finally home, not cooking, good times too with my family and everything you do in the south revolves around food and drinking (or at least in my family). Because I've stayed on track for the past 30 days (because of tracking on MFP and all of you ), I feel so strong and in control. I know as as long as I don't "start" with any processed food or sugar, I'll be okay. I know I'm NOT going to blow it this week. Georgia has destroyed my 'diet' more times than I can count but I know it won't this time!!!! My next weigh-in will be Sunday or Monday - looking forward to a drop!
@quiltingjaine Good idea to try heavy cream - I was surprised at the difference in carbs. Thanks!
Have a great week everyone!
Goal for Round 102 - to continue to eat healthy, drink water, no sugar or processed food. IF 4 out of 7 days, Row, lift weights and walk. 174.5 pounds
Tracking my next goal: hit 160's again!!
Round 102 Daily Recap1/18 176.0 I've lost 10 pounds! What a great way to start this round. It was time for a slight drop so very happy to see it! I had my doubts because I didn't exercise yesterday, or drink enough water and I made english muffin bread and had one slice, which I was still only 1157 calories. The bread only has 63 calories an oz. What I'm most proud of though is the fact I only ate one slice of bread. NEVER in the past would I have had the willpower or control over my cravings to do this, especially in the evenings! Here's to this being a successful round for all of us!
1/19 176.0 I've had a small cold so hadn't exercised for a few days. Rowed 30 mins this morning. Will be shoveling snow later today. Beautiful Sunday morning with the snow untouched yet and deep blue sky. Have a lovely day all!
1/20 177.0 - Yike, that wasn't easy to write. It just reminds me that I can't get too excited or too low whichever way the scale goes and watch the trend. First time over 1500 calories in 3 weeks on Saturday - 1671 calories, which isn't too bad. Yesterday was 1391 but too many carbs and too much sodium. I've had a cold so didn't exercise Friday and Saturday but did row yesterday and this morning. Have not drank enough water either. So many things to work on over the next eight days of this round! I'm still happy to be out of the 180's FOREVER!!!!
1/21 177.0 Okay, I guess this is the weight I'm going to have to work with
What I did well: Before, I would have been binging and off my 'diet' for weeks by now and especially if my weight went up. The fact I'm still encouraged and sticking to it I am EXTREMELY grateful! I held my calories at 1573 and rowed. I appreciate the small changes that aren't scale related like the fact my clothes fit better.
What I didn't do well: I did not drink water. I ate too many carbs. I made chicken soup for my cold a few days ago and did not have low sodium chicken broth so too much sodium. I haven't done IF for a few days. I haven't had enough vegetables or fruit.
So, I'm throwing down a challenge to myself by writing down all my goals for today on tomorrow's date and I will have to take them off if I don't do them
1/22 175.9 I wrote these goals down yesterday to get back on it and did it! 64 oz of water _Yes_; 4 vegies _YEP_; 2 fruit: _Yes_ (my favorite: frozen blueberries, raspberries and milk in a blender - so good)_; stayed under 1200 calories: _1180_; rowed: _Yes_; turn on favorite songs and dance for 10 mins (because music makes everything better!) _Yep_; began IF before 5PM: _did it!_
I felt like I was slowly losing all the good habits I had created over the past 3 weeks. I can handle my weight fluctuating because that's perfectly normal, as long as I'm doing the right things; however, what got me over the past 3 to 4 days was I could tell I was starting to slip back into my old ways and know from experience this leads to me binging and falling off entirely for weeks, and gaining all my weight back to boot. Not this time, though. I caught myself, learned it's okay if I'm off a few days (it doesn't mean I blew it) and I don't have to be so damn rigid - just get right back to eating healthy and exercising. Goodness, losing weight really is as much about your mental/emotional health as it is physical, isn't it...?! AND working on both is necessary!
1/23 175.0 - Yesterday was another good day. Calories: 1181 / Rowing: 30 mins / Vegies: 4 / Fruit: 2 / Water 50 oz (ok, not great) / IF 17 hours. Made it thru 3 or 4 days of feeling like I was about to cave - glad to be on the other side of that!
1/24 175.4 IF 17 hrs / Calories: 1080 1181 (correcting my calories for yesterday) / Free Weights
1/25 175.2 Wasn't going for IF today but ended up with 15 hours. My number of hours for IF is always based on my fast ending when I have 1/2 cup of whole milk in my tea (yes,1/2 a cup in a 1 cup of tea - my husband laughs when I pour a 'splash' of milk in it. LOL). It's 75 calories but I usually don't eat until 2 or 3 hours later. Had a really good day again yesterday - rowed 30 mins, lots of vegis, some fruit and pretty good on water - not great. 1170 calories which seems to be naturally where my body wants to be around right now. I was eating bread but I've stopped for now because I hate when I use calories on it when I could have so much more of something else and not get hungry later. I have my eyes on one thing right now - I want to see 160's again!!

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
01/27- 211.4lb. No further loss, that puts my loss at 1.4ln for the challenge. Hardly impressive, however, another 10 days of being conscious about my eating, far outweighs any loss. I’m 8lb down since Xmas and that’s a win for me. Back to work today, plenty of fluid is the plan.9 -
Round 102 - Jan.18 to Jan.27
Female, 5’, 66 years. SW – 165.2, GW – 163 something, 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.) The 12 hr. IF along with everything else (portion control, watching calories in foods, exercise) seems to be working well for me. So this round I hope to be more consistent with logging food and exercise and see how far I can get.
Day/Weight/Comment
01/18 – 165.2 – Up a little from yesterday. Did almost a regular workout at the gym yesterday, so maybe some water retention. Close on calories and did IF.
01/19
01/20 - 165
01/21 – 165 – Busy last 2 days so didn’t get on here but did weigh. Good workout at the gym yesterday but didn’t manage IF. Always have to run off to practice on Mondays which typically goes till 10 or so, then when I get home, I just want to unwind and eat something. Last night it was 1/3 – ½ cup of homemade granola (nutritious but not low cal.) I need a plan to deal with this … it’s the same story every week so now it’s a habit.
01/22 – 164 – Nice to see this. A little exercise shoveling and kept to IF
01/23 – 164.8 Stuck to IF yesterday but did not log. Think eating was pretty reasonable although tried out a new muffin recipe – good, but in retrospect should have cut the oil some. Now what to do with them? I’m sure they are ridiculously high calorie because of the oil but lots of other good ingredients so hate to just throw them out. Maybe I’ll freeze them and use as a “dessert” option. This is the problem of having no kids at home …
01/24 – 165.2 – Stayed up too late last night but did keep to IF. Not a lot of movement though – some long phone calls and going through paperwork.
01/25 – 165.8
01/26 – 165.6
01/27 – 165 – Glad to have a loss even if just a .2, seeing the 164’s during the round encourages me that I’m heading down. Off to the gym today. My movement has been so low … partly just not wanting to take the time but also not feeling so great. Of course ‘not feeling so great’ could be because I’m not getting hardly any exercise in! See you in the next round.8 -
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!

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.
1/27: 137 -- A bit up from yesterday, but....still a big drop from 2 days ago. I'm feeling a bit better this morning, but still not full energy. I'm so happy to see an overall loss from this round, which erases the last round's gain. Still some work to get to my pre-Holiday weight, but this is the right trend!

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.
01/27 73.1kg - YWA day 20, no run, 17hrs fast
Not what I was hoping for, but down a little and reflecting behaviour over the 10 days. So onto a new week and new round with less stress eating, more planning ahead on fasting windows and keeping up the exercise. Sore throat tonight isn't the best premise for that... Early night tonight.7 -

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
01/27 393.2 (-1.2) – I lost over the weekend and that is great! I am down 5.6 for the year after ups and downs for the month. Today I am not going to binge like I have been doing and then I am up 2 or 3 pounds. I do not want to keep doing that to myself. So goal today is to splurge a bit but not to over do it. For me not over doing it is not to gain over a pound. It is a Monday so that is better for me to end a round! Whenever I am at work, my days are pretty structured so I may even lose tomorrow. I am getting there slowly but surely. As I was writing out a message to another MFP friend, I realized I can be doing better for sure. I have just been messing around. But that is OK to. The good thing is, I am back on track and I have a plan that I plan to stick to. YEAH!! :flowerforyou:
Total change this round: (-4.8) (SW 398 CW 393.2 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.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.

Goal 121- half of my former self
Ultimate Goal- Maintain under 130
Goal every round is to get that average down by any number but seeing 145 would definitely make me do a happy dance (how many calories does that burn?)
R101 Average- 148.1
R102 Average- 147.0
01/18- 148.2
01/19- 146.6
01/20- 144.4- this is total dehydration!!

01/24- 146.4
01/25- 147.0
01/26- 147.8
01/27- 147.0- I’m happy with both a lower end weight and a lower average. I’m going to just keep plugging along and trusting that if I keep working on it I will get to my goal no matter how long it takes. I do miss the rapid loss with higher calories and less exercise that was the beginning of this journey. But it’s that success that motivates me to keep pushing.
@lalabank - Congratulations on losing 95 pounds!!! HEY HEY HEY!!! You are going to be in the century club soon young lady. Good for you...... Yes unfortunately the smaller you get, the slower the weight loss. But hang in there. This is a lifestyle change. And I love how you word your Ultimate goal. :Maintain under 130. You will get there and that tells me you know what it will takes to keep the weight off. Keep up the good work!! :flowerforyou:7 -

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.
01/27. 172.6 - ↓6lbs for round
Yesterday was another carb control fail. However, I had better than respectable marks sticking with intermittent fasting. Combined with a lower than usual calorie count I did okay this round. Normally I need strict moderate protein and higher fat to lose. I credit the pounds lost to fasting.
@MSWDiet - 6 pounds down is better than OK!! Congrats!! Keep up the good work my friend!!

@IsMollyReallyHungry Thank you for the reply. I'm not concerned about losing the weight, I'm concerned about the by-product of excessive loose skin afterwards. Call it male vanity. (LOL) One of the problems/aspects of our society is the impatience of waiting for anything. We want/need everything right now... weight loss included. And when it has taken years to put the weight on and we want to drop it all in a month, there are consequences such as loose, saggy skin. I watch YouTube videos of people that drop 50 lbs. + in a matter of a few months and their complaints about that loose skin. So I don't want to replace one problem (obesity) for another (loose skin). That's why I want to try and keep my average weight loss under 2 pounds per week. I know that some weeks, especially when changing diet, adding exercise, fasting, etc. will cause a sudden change, but if I limit them or be conscious of how they change me, then I can adapt. When I started this journey, my long-term plan was that it would take somewhere around 140 weeks (at a 1.5 lb. loss per week) to get to 185. Even at 2 lb. per week, it's still about 2 years. I have to be patient. I look at shows like *Biggest Loser* as cautionary tales about trying to do too much, too fast. Just my 5 cents worth.
@kecward78 - You are so welcome! ......I hope it works out for you. From what I have heard once your skin is stretched it is stretched and unless you are younger, it will not matter if you lose weight slowly or quickly. Lifting weights will help some while you are losing the weight. I am no expert, so you may want to check with a doctor who specializes on this matter, so you are not disappointed when or if you still have a lot of loose skin. I would even recommend getting a 2nd opinion. No matter what, just keep losing weight because it is healthier for you and you will feel 100% better! Don’t over worry about things like loose skin. I still have a lot of loose skin on my thighs and butt area and arms. I am not sure what I will do about it and not worried about it at this time. When the time comes to cross that bridge I will. Keep up the good work! :flowerforyou:

I stopped participating, because I found weighing every day was daunting and discouraging for me. Weight can fluctuate 1-4 pounds a day. And not seeing steady progress- I ended up feeling discouraged and apathetic. So I'll go back to weighing in every 3 -5 days, with the flexibility to skip depending on conditions only I know.
Congratulations to you all for finding a method and support system that works for you. I'll keep looking next time I need the reach out. Thanks and keep going!11 -

Day/Weight/Comment
01/18 136 – 9.7 miles walked, pre planning & logging worked yesterday, I'll use it again today. Feels good to be back in control, all macros & calories well in green.
01/19 136 – 11.86 miles walked yesterday in the glorious winter sunshine. Today will be a challenge, last “Christmas” celebration of the season, all my large family get together, siblings, respective children and grandchildren, 30+ of us, we hire a church hall and all bring bits of food, you may know it as a Jacobs table or an American supper? I'm getting out for a good walk this morning beforehand and then really going to try to make healthy choices.
01/20 136.6 – 8.06 miles walked. Did indulge a little, but tried to make mostly healthy choices at our last family “Christmas” get together. Calories, carbs & sodium all over, BUT, I fought with my inner self to not use it as an “excuse” to run into a major binge (this is what would normally happen) – and it was a fight!! But the healthier me won and I ate only an apple after we got home at 6.00pm last night. So this morning I've pre-logged my food for the day and have some good walking planned too. Have a good Monday everyone!
01/21 135.8 - 10.69 miles walked yesterday, carbs 7g over, but calories and all other macros well in green. Still feeling more in control, but knee is niggling from an old injury way back in adolescence, wouldn't let me do all my stretching and toning exercises this morning, it didn't like dancing the samba as our latin & ballroom class last night, hopefully I'll still be OK for my walking today.
01/22 135.4 – 11.95 miles walked yesterday, knee is fine walking as long as I made sure I keep it in line rather than twist it – I will “nurse” it through yoga this morning. All calories & macros well in green, feeling strong.
01/23 135 – 9.98 miles walked yesterday and an hours yoga – knee held up and getting better – yeah. All macros and calories in green.
01/24 135.6 – 2.09 miles only walked, a couple of hours up & down the different levels at soft play with toddler DGS.
01/25 DNW
01/26 DNW
01/27 DNW – I totally butted out on this last 3 days; phone call from my Dad's care home got me out of bed early Saturday am. Aged 86 & suffering with advanced Alzheimers, my Dad seemed to have had some kind of seizure and was on his way to A&E. He had actually suffered a major heart attack, didn't regain consciousness and peacefully drifted away. Feeling like I've been punched in the belly, I ate totally off plan & drank below my water quota. So I'm getting on with all the gumph that needs to be done following a death (I am his NOK). My wonderful heavily pregnant DD & SIL invited us to a roast Sunday dinner the following day to try to ease my pain, when we got there, she had started in labour (a week early) and gave birth later that night to a beautiful baby boy, her second & our third grandchild. A bitter sweet weekend, it just proves that life still goes on. I need to get back on track, life is going to be so different now, I used to do my walking around visiting Dad & that and sitting with him was a big part of my day. May have to come out of early retirement and look for a part time job, can't just not do anything! Trouble is I think my wanting to work only Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday each week might be too restrictive for a potential employer. I'll have to see after the funeral is over. In the meantime I still need to get back on track!!

01/20 136.6 – 8.06 miles walked. Did indulge a little, but tried to make mostly healthy choices at our last family “Christmas” get together. Calories, carbs & sodium all over, BUT, I fought with my inner self to not use it as an “excuse” to run into a major binge (this is what would normally happen) – and it was a fight!! But the healthier me won and I ate only an apple after we got home at 6.00pm last night. So this morning I've pre-logged my food for the day and have some good walking planned too. Have a good Monday everyone!
01/21 135.8 - 10.69 miles walked yesterday, carbs 7g over, but calories and all other macros well in green. Still feeling more in control, but knee is niggling from an old injury way back in adolescence, wouldn't let me do all my stretching and toning exercises this morning, it didn't like dancing the samba as our latin & ballroom class last night, hopefully I'll still be OK for my walking today.
01/22 135.4 – 11.95 miles walked yesterday, knee is fine walking as long as I made sure I keep it in line rather than twist it – I will “nurse” it through yoga this morning. All calories & macros well in green, feeling strong.
01/23 135 – 9.98 miles walked yesterday and an hours yoga – knee held up and getting better – yeah. All macros and calories in green.
01/24 135.6 – 2.09 miles only walked, a couple of hours up & down the different levels at soft play with toddler DGS.

01/27 DNW – I totally butted out on this last 3 days; phone call from my Dad's care home got me out of bed early Saturday am. Aged 86 & suffering with advanced Alzheimers, my Dad seemed to have had some kind of seizure and was on his way to A&E. He had actually suffered a major heart attack, didn't regain consciousness and peacefully drifted away. Feeling like I've been punched in the belly, I ate totally off plan & drank below my water quota. So I'm getting on with all the gumph that needs to be done following a death (I am his NOK). My wonderful heavily pregnant DD & SIL invited us to a roast Sunday dinner the following day to try to ease my pain, when we got there, she had started in labour (a week early) and gave birth later that night to a beautiful baby boy, her second & our third grandchild. A bitter sweet weekend, it just proves that life still goes on. I need to get back on track, life is going to be so different now, I used to do my walking around visiting Dad & that and sitting with him was a big part of my day. May have to come out of early retirement and look for a part time job, can't just not do anything! Trouble is I think my wanting to work only Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday each week might be too restrictive for a potential employer. I'll have to see after the funeral is over. In the meantime I still need to get back on track!!

I just wanted to pass along my condolences and say how very sorry I am for your loss. My 82 year old mom lives with me and, since she has been with me the last 20, I see that slow slide myself. Take care!

@musicsax, So very sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family. Yes, such a bittersweet situation to lose a loving Father and gain a beautiful new Grandson. Enjoy your new grand baby. Loving him will help you work through your grief.5

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.
