Looking forward:

February: I need to focus on getting back to where I was pre-Christmas
2020: Goal is to stabilise weight around 145
Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
Cut down on eating between meals

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!

TwistedSassette · January 2020

I need to get myself back on track properly! I'm tracking my calories and trying to be more active, so I think this is a good start.

GOALS THIS ROUND
- Lose any amount of weight
- Track calories 7/10 days
- Minimum of 10 mins activity per day
R103 SW 134.3kg

Day | Weight | Change | Comment
01/28 | 134.3kg | No change | Didn't eat properly or move a lot over the long weekend, but at least I avoided the booze, for the most part! Plan for this week is in place, now I just need to stick to it.

01/29 | 134.0kg | -0.3kg | Only did a little bit of walking yesterday, but did eat better overall than I have been. Need to do something about my snacking in the evenings - we tend to eat dinner very late (9-10pm) so I do get hungry in the meantime and will eat anything I can find! I will try to bring dinner earlier, though it's unlikely to be earlier than 8:30pm as the baby goes to bed about 8pm usually so that's realistically when we can cook dinner! I do notice my snacking is better on nights where we have leftovers to eat, as we do eat a lot earlier then. Something to work on, anyway!

01/30 | 134.0kg | No change | Very late dinner (11pm!) as my mum and sister were visiting and time just got away from us. Was not a healthy dinner. Drank a few beers. Very late to bed - 12:30am and had to be up for work at 5:30 am. But it was a fun night and we don't get to do it often, though it's a two-coffee kind of day today!

01/31 | 133.3kg | -0.7kg | I’m not sure what the story is with this whoosh but I hope it sticks around!

02/01 | 133.7kg | +0.4kg | Pretty active day, took my little to the pool with a friend & my sister. Did some of a beginner kickboxing video which got my heart rate way up! And did some yoga which felt great on my hip. Then had a few beers with hubby last night so it was a nice, relaxing evening watching some movies.

@quiltingjaine
lol....not the least bit surprised. It's the little things that really get you. Nuts, croutons, seeds, dressings, dried fruit. It can really add up. I ordered an asian ahi tuna salad. Mainly greens, a few tomatoes and carrots and some sunflower seeds. The Tuna was seared, dressing on the side. I tried to estimate high on each ingredient but truly a crap shoot. So much easier to just have a piece of tuna and veggies lol!🐟

@TwistedSassette Great day! good job with the kickboxing and yoga, too! I know what you're up to!

RGW: 185.2

01/28 187.2 stayed under cals and did legs/glutes at the gym

01/29 185.4 wow I’m almost at my goal weight for this round. I lost 2lbs overnight after being stuck at 187 for a week. I became discouraged last round because it was stuck so I stopped posting my stats but glad I stuck to my macros/calories. Did well today and ate what I had pre planned.

01/30 186.0 stuck to my prep planned meals. Husband went to Burger King and I didn’t order anything! Feeling accomplished

01/31 185.4 running errands with my gpa today, tried to eat sensibly but didn’t track. Worked legs/glutes this morning

Starting weight January 2019: 150 lbs

Original goal weight: 130 lbs (hit this January 11, 2020)

Goal this round: maintain weight (or lose a little), work out 4 times a week, do elbow physical therapy every day, try to play pickleball again... haven't played since January 4th.

I'm trying a new thing - only weighing in once a week or less and focusing instead on staying under my calorie goals, being active and eating enough protein. Will see how this affects my mood and performance.

Round 102: SW 130.4, EW 130.0
Round 103: SW 130.0, EW 130 or lower

Day/Weight/Comment:

01/28: Nailed my protein goal yesterday (95 grams), ate below calories and had a short but excellent upper body workout. Another really great workout this morning - a new to me lower strength day that kicked my butt and I had time for 25 minutes of cardio on top of it. Followed with a high protein smoothie, great start to the day and challenge for me.

01/29: Another great protein day (over 100 grams), also ate below calories and added some ab work at the end of the day when I did my elbow p/t. Hard to not get on the scale, waiting for the obsession to ease up a bit. Today is a rest day - which I will spend cleaning the house

.

01/30: 95 grams protein yesterday and well under my calorie goal. I was so crazy sore yesterday from both the Monday and tuesday workout but felt great in the gym this morning. Tried a Pickleball game, nope, elbow is not ready. But I’m going to find a poor unsuspecting soul who will do drills with me left handed.

01/31: day 4 of not weighing in, I don’t like it at all. Told myself I’d wait til Monday, really going to try to stick to that. Over 100 grams protein yesterday, under calorie goal, great workout. Great workout this morning followed by hitting the Pickleball against the practice wall with my left hand for a while. Will continue that after workouts for a few days. I’m really sore from this week in the gym, pushed myself a lot. Looking forward to recovering over the weekend.

@SarahG626 I had days like that when I was working! I was sick of one particular co-worker or just the whole place. Good for you, taking a mental health day!

I am glad that I am not the only one. I enjoyed my day off but wow! I am SWAMPED being back at work. It is a double edged sword, unfortunately.

There IS that!

Sarah, where in Ohio are you? Our DGD#1 is being transferred to Cincinnati.

I am northwest of Columbus (Raymond, which is in Union County). I'm about 2hrs north of Cincinnati. Travel through there when we go to my Uncle's place in Richmond, KY.

I've been meaning to ask about the abbrevations I'm seeing. What is DGD?

01/26 – 201.6

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 – 203.7 (0); Monday info: 1784 steps, 1 of 12, 5hr44m (74): I am NOT going to lie. I took a mental health day from work b/c I just couldn’t face the world. I hate the cold weather. I have been going non-stop for what feels like too long. I didn’t track a single item. I ate like crap. I sat on my butt all day. I had just had enough and needed a break. Bleh! **Okay, now that I’ve gotten that out of my system…back to the grind. All better now. 😊

01/29 – 204.1 (+0.4); Tuesday info; 7035 steps, 8 of 12, 5hr40m (73): Trying to pick myself up off the floor and get 100% back on track has proven difficult (which is normal). I was swamped at work all day which is probably the only reason I managed to get over 7K in steps. I felt like I was running all over the office like a crazed nutjob. I managed to track 2 meals and then faltered at home. (Missed journaling yesterday as well.)

01/30 – 204.9 (+0.8); Wednesday info: 5286 steps, 8 of 12, 5hr18m (71): No provider at work so we had all day in-service with our soon to retire manager and our brand new manager who is taking over 100% on Monday. Lots of tears as our office has been through A LOT with our retiring manager in the last 3+ years. I only managed to track breakfast. Taco bar potluck during the meeting. Skipped the desserts! #win (Just realized that I’m getting close to “shark week” so I’m PMS’ing. NomNomNom StressStressStress)

01/31 – 202.5 (-2.4); Thursday info: 5132 steps, 7 of 12, 6hr5m (78): Pretty standard long day at work. Trying to do Greek yogurt and my protein drink for breakfast instead of buying bagel/cream cheese at the Bistro in my building. The protein drink is 24oz of water (plus a scoop of the powder) and seems to hold me thru to lunch at 1:30pm. I’ve packed my lunch every day (instead of buying at the Bistro). I skipped my office party for retiring manager which meant no eating out! Also, did NOT have any diet pop after work! Trying to get more water in.

Total for the round: -1.2

01/29 392.8 (+0.6) – Cheesecake factory splurge, not bad at all. Enjoyed it and back on track. Still drinking a lot of water today. A lot of salt and calories to wash out. I should be in the blue tomorrow.

Going out tomorrow to a play and dinner out. I am thinking of taking some grilled chicken to super bowl party Sunday so I will have something in case everything is fattening. I am supposed to bring a nice dessert which means fattening. SIGH. But I am good with desserts. It is the other stuff that derails my efforts. But I going to be focused over the weekend! I am going think next decade, next decade, next decade. I want to get into the next decade (389.8) by next Thursday! Have a great weekend Everyone! :flowerforyou:

Total change this round: (+1.2) (SW 392.2 CW 393.4 GW 388)

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
01/28 – 173.4 – Met my goals today, but had a high sodium lunch. Scratchy throat - Hope I’m not coming down with another cold.
01/29 – 173.4 – Holding steady. Gorgeous sunny day, so I was hoping to walk at the beach. Lost my voice after teaching back-to-back classes, so I skipped the walk on the windy boardwalk, did a couple of quick errands, and headed home to make a pot of tea and do some grading. Fortunately, I don’t have any classes tomorrow. Well under my calorie limit and drinking lots of extra fluids. Hoping that and an early night help me get back up to speed quickly.
01/30 – 172.6 – Nice to see another drop bringing me back to where I started the last round. Felt great after my gym session this morning. However, my 2-hr training workshop this afternoon required a lot more speaking than I’d anticipated, so my voice is even more strained. I seriously need to rest it tomorrow. Met my calorie, hydration, and exercise goals. If I do a quick load of laundry tonight, it’ll be a clean sweep
01/31 – 172.6 – January was a challenging month, but I’m happy to be ending it at a slightly lower weight than I started. This was my first week of really utilizing the campus gym, and it’s gone well but has eaten up a lot of time. The key will be keeping it up as the semester gets busier. My voice is on the mend, helped by lots of herbal tea and a bit of honey. Skipped the wine tonight and made a simple dinner with berries for dessert, banking some calories for the weekend.

Started a very low calorie diet on Jan 17. I have ended each of the last 5 years heavier than I have ever been before. Have a very complicated, very unhappy relationship with food. Am hoping taking the thinking and choice out of it - by focusing on low-calorie ready meals - can help me get where I am trying to go.

Female age 61 5' 4”

Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !

This round goal to just lose - aim to stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking & refrain from attacking the cookie jar and left over Christmas chocolates – plan is to put them in DH lunch box each day 'til they're gone!! - there are still residual bits hanging around hubby will have finished them by end of this week!

Day/Weight/Comment

01/28 136 – 3.84 miles walked only yesterday – still off plan following loss of my Dad 3 days ago. Got my head together this morning & back in the game, hope to be able to get 9 mile walk in today in between phone calls, making arrangements etc. regarding Dads passing.
01/29 134.4 8.93 miles walked yesterday, good to be back on track, all macros and calories well in green. NSV – didn't turn to food when I was frustrated with red tape & bureaucracy regarding delay in issue of Dad's death cert to finalize funeral, in fact I didn't even realize that until this morning!!
01/30 134.4 – 11.52 miles walked yesterday, all calories & macros well in green. Finally caught up with all the posts, took me the last 2 days to catch up from the start of the round. Once again, thank you all for all your kind wishes and prayers, can't tell you enough how much this lifts me. This group is the best!
01/31 133.4 – 10.34 miles walked yesterday, calories & all macros in green. All Dad's funeral arrangements finalized albeit can't get fitted in for a further 4 ½ weeks !!?. Feeling less anxious now.
02/01 133.8 - 9.74 miles walked. Carbs 34 over, but calories & all other macros in green. Come away for a weekend in our caravan for a chilling weekend, we're near to our DD & will be seeing our brand new baby grandson & his cute brother later today 😊 .

I'm looking forward to a great 10 days with all of you! I let the holidays get to me in the end and put on a few pounds, which I am working on getting back off. Goal weight is 10 pounds away! I'm excited to reach it sometime this year!!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 138.5 -- A bit irritated. Yesterday was a good day, so no idea where this came from. Frequently, I guess I have a drop, bounce up and then go down to stay....but this still annoyed me!
01/29 138 -- Wishing it was better than this! Good day yesterday and I'm sticking to plan!
01/30 138 -- At least it isn't going up. Feeling a bit low energy yesterday and today.
01/31 137.5 -- I was really hoping the holiday weight gain would just come right back off. Sadly, it seems it wants to be a bit more stubborn than that. On the other hand, I'm only 5 pounds up since the start of chemotherapy, and the mastectomy before that. And my clothes still fit, and I'm feeling pretty healthy. And those 5 pounds mean I don't have to worry about maintenance for some time still. So I'm settling back into the it's a journey, not a destination. Glad to be on this journey with all of you!

At the moment I'm working on having a calorie deficit diet and portion control. Hope to incorporate more exercise.

01/28 - 169.2
01/29 - 168.5 - ~1400cals and hardly any snacking. Will try to work on moving more.
01/30- 168.4 ~1400 again and no exercise but my smartwatch should be arriving soon and will hopefully motivate me. With little ones it just gets so busy or am I just making excuses.
01/31 - 168.2 ~1600cals. Ended up having chicken pie for dinner as hadn't prepped anything Sleep: 6hr32mins. Steps: 5000
02/01 - 168.2 I do think my scales are playing up though I got a few different weights this morning. 168.0-168.4. Started the treadmill even though it was for a measly 15 minutes but still a start. Ate around ~1700cals so need to rein that in if I want to see significant losses.
Sleep:8hrs steps: 7000

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

1/28- 148

This round is just a place holder, I’m not going to report daily weight because there will be planned carb spikes and quick drops. I’ll be happy to just be under 150 at the end.

2/1- still just hanging out while my scale goes wild with TOM and mini carb spikes. My body is responding exactly as predicted, it’s not too bad.
Monday is my planned high weigh in to be followed by 16 weeks of training for my 10k obstacle course run and my final weigh in.

R103 137
GW 131

01/28 137 today I will track my calories and go back to the simple dishes. Too much sugar over the past week. I must get this done. I don't need so much food. My body is not so tall and it doesn't feel good. I feel heavy and bloated.

01/29 135. Stayed on track. Day 2 of staying on track. I can do it. All I have to do is plan my meals 😊 and fill up in veggies.

01/30 134 day 3 of staying on track. With very little sugar too. Logged everything. I was a bit sad so maybe that's why I didn't feel like eating 😔 I shouldn't be sad. Yes, things could be better but they also could be very worse. I'm going to be positive today and remember the good.

01/31 134
02/01 134.8 oops. This is what salty fries and ice cream does. Back to the 1200 today. And back to the elliptical finally.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 103
