OSW 201
Round 102 EW 189.8
Goal this round <187.0
01/28- 188.6 up and down up and down. my trend has leveled out. maybe tomorrow will be the day it points down. Feeling cross probably due to hormones so I decided to skip my yoga class and now I feel cross about that. Aiming for 1500 cals today.
01/29 - 188.8 wound up going WAY over my calories yesterday. I have a plan for today though.. I just need to stick to it and not lose motivation.
01/30 - 189. 4 what the heck. drinking extra water today.
01/31 - DNW left the house early and forgot!
02/01- 188.6 had a few drinks the night before
02/02- DNW
02/03- 189.9 back up again. I had a high calorie day on Saturday so I was expecting a bit of an uptick. Hopefully tomorrow will settle. Working up a menu plan for the week to help meet my goals.
02/04 189.6
02/05 188.0 Finally the scale budges! This 10 day round has been very frustrating for me, I am still thinking it's because of this medication. Although I don't think I'll make my goal this round a continued downward trend would make me happy.
02/06 188.8 On the bright side the BF% on my scale was crazy low, which means i am holding a lot of water. Fingers crossed that we can get with the program.. at some point my body has to let it go, right?
Onward and (hopefully) downwards.12 -

02/06 - DNW. Wowzers! I wish I knew how to put a 'spectacular implosion' emoji here. I ate probably about a billion calories yesterday. Give or take. Carb cravings were off the chart. Could be the build up to TOTM. Or that self-sabotage is just my thing. Anyway, new day, new round. Looking to be consistent for the whole of Round 103.
I find that my body takes up to 3 days to “register” my food choices.
How low are your calories????
Best of luck in round 104!2 -
End of Round 102 Weight - 171.2
1/28 - 170.8
1/29 - 170.6
1/30 - 170.2
1/31 - 170.2 Weekends are so hard but no eating out planned and I have a sewing project to keep me busy and out of the snacks in the evening. Looking forward to being in the 160's. It's been awhile.
2/1 - 170.6
2/2 - 170.4
2/3 - 171.6 This has got to be water weight. I ate under calorie limit and went for a long walk outside due to an oddly warm start to February. I was excited to get on the scale this morning but was sadly disappointed.
2/4 - 171.6 Again
2/5 - 170.0 Saw 169.8 for a split second and then it settled on 170. So excited. Maybe tomorrow. Very determined today.
2/6 - 169.4 Happy Happy! Nice end to the round.13 -

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
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.
Rnd 103 SW 121.5
1/28 122.0 I’ve caught up with posts so will get dressed and go to the gym with DH. No excuses!
%%%%%%
Haha, I was ready and waiting for him to get up and he slept until 11! When he got up he went to lunch with our blind friend so I went to the gym and ran errands!
1/29 121.0
1/30 122.5 Very short night. Less than 4 hours sleep. Really bad choice for dinner last night -Popeye’s chicken. And no TMI x2
1/31 121.0 * Note to self - skip Popeye’s chicken in the future! Yesterday did some food prep for the freezer- fathead pizza crusts and chaffles, started digging out the sewing table. It’s been quite a while since it was cleared off. Still lots to do but I need to get ready for the All Day Sew tomorrow and really don’t want to have to haul a truck load of stuff to have what I need!
2/1 121.0 I have a carefully planned food day to go with my all day sew. I woke up with a touch of vertigo. ARRRGGHHH! Happy February everyone!
2/2 121.0 So pleased with myself for walking past a table covered with sugary stuff ALL DAY at Sew Day. I ate only the food I took and had pre-logged. I got 133% of my steps for the day and drank 3 liters of water and ?? cups of coffee. By 5 pm my back was done but we were there until 9:15 - the disadvantage of not driving myself. Today we’re meeting friends at Sam’s Town for brunch buffet at 11 and I will have champagne. NO Super Bowl!!!
2/3 121.0 Had TOOO MUCH CHAMPAGNE yesterday but it did give me a GREAT nap!
2/4 120.0 Broke my fast yesterday after 23 hours. DH is going to lunch with blind friend so I will fast longer today.
2/5 121.0 I dug out the Wii balance board yesterday and did some of my favorite games on WiiFit. The Wii said it was over 3300 days since I last used it but I know I was using it to weigh the cat after we moved into this house 2957 days ago. It was the new vet who said Oskar needed to lose 8# so it was sometime in 2012. Anyway, Wii is out and easily accessible so I will be adding that to my gym time! Not much, but something.
2/6 120.0 DH and blind friend are going to lunch again so I’m going to try a longer than 24 hour fast.11 -

Hi, I’m Karen and I’m 53.
OSW-187 Sept. 2018
Gym weight lifting class 2 x week
Walk +/- 7 miles 3 x week. Goal Weight this Round: 160
Drink plenty of water, alcohol on weekends
SW-163
1/28-163-Was expecting a loss after a big walk and good eating, then....I was out and about and got stung in the back of the neck by a bee. Farmers have the hives in their orchards, ready for the trees to bloom, but there isn’t anything for the bees to eat and they are hungry, especially after their night of IF! I went to the corner store and bought Benadryl, a corn dog and chocolate donuts.......the wheels had definitely come off. I gained control by dinner and ate sensibly. Off to the gym.
1/29-163-I’m glad to stay in the 160’s.
1/30–161-Big walk yesterday and another one today.
1/31-161-heading out for a walk before work. It’s Friday!!!
2/1-161-I’m glad to be holding it here, eating sensibly.. Crab feed tonight, I hope to eat crab, salad and drink water.
2/2-167-salty heavy dinner....this will take a few days to get rid of.😳
2/3-162-Lots of water and very sensible eating. Happy.
2/4-DNW
2/5-DNW
2/6-164-Had to travel to old house and clean it out. It closes escrow on Monday. Got to spend one night with my dad and another night with my uncle, and got to see one of my boys. In the middle of all of that, I found out that when they tent the house for termites, all bushes need to be trimmed 6-8”:away from house. I got my dear autistic friend and I climbed on the ladder and roof and did the trimming while he ran the wheelbarrow to the burn pile. Then he helped me load up all of my potted plants and I was able to leave the house for the last time. Finally got home last night and will go for a big walk today and start a new round tomorrow! See all of you in the next round!!😊13 -
Round 103, 20th Round for Me
Starting Weight: 281.2 lbs
Goal Weight: 279.2 lbs
Day/Weight/Comment
01/28: 282.2 lbs (+1.0) … 6,870 steps. Great start to the round! Oh well, upticks happen… all the time. I’m determined to hit 279 this round.
01/29: 280.5 lbs (-1.7) … 13,107 steps. Right back down close to my previous low. I’m a little surprised as I ate a bit more than usual yesterday. Pushing my activity level a bit more this week -- messed around with Ring Fit Adventure on Switch this morning and am thinking about going on an hour walk at lunch if it’s not too cold out. I’m near the end of my audiobook and that’d be some good listening time.
01/30: 281.0 lbs (+0.5) … 10,773 steps. Another small uptick, but I’m trending in the right direction. Got 13,000 steps yesterday, which is the first time I’ve been over 10k in quite a while. I’ve been slacking. Hoping to take another walk at lunch today if it’s not too cold out -- it’s chillier this morning than it was yesterday.
01/31: 280.7 lbs (-0.3) … 12,350 steps. Holding pretty steady around here, just tiny fluctuations. I’ve been increasing my physical activity this week though -- short morning workouts at home and 2.5 mile walks at lunch for the last few days -- so hopefully I’ll see some results from that soon.
02/01: 281.3 lbs (+0.6) … I was pretty hungry yesterday, so I’m surprised that this uptick isn’t bigger. Pretty happy with it as it is, given how much I ate. Today should be a lighter day food-wise.
02/02: DNW
02/03: 281.7 lbs (+0.4) … Not a great weekend, some poor food choices and I was pretty lazy. Need to get back into gear now.
02/04: 281.6 lbs (-0.1) … Ate a bit lighter yesterday and planning to do better today. Also I should be able to get in my lunch walk today, which should help. I had a meeting over the lunch hour yesterday.
02/05: 279.9 lbs (-1.7) … There we go! A nice little whoosh this morning and a new low weight. Finally made it to sub-280.
02/06: 276.8 lbs (-3.1) … I am overjoyed today. An unexpected whoosh on the scale, plus I’ve lost a good inch or so around my waist during the past week or two. This puts me right around 110 pounds lost, which matches the amount of weight I lost 10 years ago. (Weight I regained and then some).
As of this morning I can fit into the next size of jeans down (44, originally 58) as well as a new shirt size (XL, originally 4XL). I went to order the next size down of my jeans (I always get the same kind so I have a consistent marker for progress) and I can’t… because 44 is the smallest Big & Tall size they offer! There’s a huge grin on my face today.

My only planned exercise yesterday was a slow 2.5 mph walk at home for 21 minutes that burned 91 calories.
02/03 …..192.6 ….. 1802 Calories In / 2568 Calories Out. 77 Carbs. 12,188 Total Steps & 5.16 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 54 minutes and woke up incredibly tired but forced to get up. I prepped Superbowl food for 40 minutes burning 122 calories. I did light to moderate cleaning in the tourist cabins for 70 minutes burning 248 calories. Total extra burn 370.
02/04 …..192.3 ….. Flu (or pancreatitis or gall bladder attack?) hit bad yesterday afternoon. I was sick all night. Stayed in bed and in pain. That explains the drop on the scale. I really should have went to an emergency room but I live so far from one. If that gripping pain happens again, I will go in next time. No movement yesterday, all bed. I’m going to take it easy today too and not push it. I am feeling very hungry right now but afraid to eat. And my back is hurting from lying so long in bed yesterday. I am not used to that. Most nights I don’t even hit 5 hours so laying down that long is painful. I hope the day gets better.
02/05 …..192.6 ….. Up a little from probable water retention. I finally ate a little last night. I kept it very low fat to give my gall bladder and pancreas a rest, but it did have sodium. I am working very hard today (in my jammies) to keep it healthy but light. Thanks to all the well wishers. I love you all! For the past 2 days I have burned about 1900 calories for the day and kept the calories pretty low. No exercise. Today I am going to work on drinking lots of water (a little fearful of ANYTHING heavy in the tummy) and green tea (antioxidant). I hope to be back up and running (walking, actually) tomorrow. I am very sad that this whole round has went bad for one reason or another. I recommit every single day and then look in the mirror and find that I am still only human. I must become a stronger one with more will. After I feel better, I will pick up my bat and start swinging again. My arms may get tired, but I NEVER EVER stop wanting to win the game! Have a great hump day everyone!
02/06 …..192.1 ….. Better on the scale. Tummy doing somewhat better. I will know more when I eat today. For the next round I am going to try something different. Starting now for the next 10 days, I am going to try something new in the hopes of helping my gall bladder, my glucose numbers, yet still my weight. I will focus more on my calories and (a little) less on my carbs. I am hoping to rest my gall bladder from excess fat, raise my glucose numbers a bit but still see something positive on the scale. We’ll see how this experiment goes. With the lows that I keep hitting in my glucose (instead of high) I actually have to increase the carbs to be okay. So I am going to focus on calories but still make many good carb choices along the way. Example: No real rice, just cauliflower rice. Healthy low starch veggies (like zucchini and spinach) will remain in my recipes. Lower carb versions of things like sandwich wraps (carb smart). Spaghetti made with spaghetti squash, not noodles. But the main focus will be on lower calorie. Many of my recipes I use for low-carb food prep are already low in calories too, so I will continue with all my favorite keto and low carb foods for the most part. I am going to watch the fat because of my recent stomach attack (gall bladder?). No restrictions on what I can eat, just how much, while making some good choices that are somewhat more carb friendly (I don’t need my glucose going back sky high). I don’t know how this will work, but I’ll give it the next 10 days and find out. I will carefully monitor how I feel, what the scale is saying to me and what my glucose numbers are reading. I’m a bit fearful of this experiment on many, many levels but I won’t know until I try if it will help me in regards to T2D. I am also hoping that travel and restaurants won't hurt my bottom line so bad.
Here goes nothing!!!!!
@shunggie Thanks for the beautiful pic. It put a smile on my face for sure. Now.....if we could just get a few update pics from @GrandmaJackie of Pete, it would be wonderful!

Hi. My name is Trina.
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!
02/01 138.5 -- Clearly I offended the scale and it is taking it out on me. It is refusing to reflect my virtue this week.
02/02 140 -- 6 mile fast hilly walk yesterday. It was a definitely a higher carb, higher calorie day, (I was a bit frustrated, plus my son made delicious chocolate chip walnut scones!)
but still within calories. I'm just trying to stick with the program. Presumably results will start happening again at some point.
02/03 140 -- Thought I did better than ok with superbowl yesterday. Clearly I breathed too many snacks.
02/04 141
02/05 141
02/06 140.5 I'm getting a bit frustrated. My net calories have been consistently below my target for 20 days, and yet my weight is the same as the one time high I saw 20 days ago. All through the holidays when I was weighing and not tracking I never got abobe 137.5. I'm retaining a bit of water, but I'm not sure at all what is going on. Sticking with it and yada yada yada. But I'm not happy!

Goal for this round is 100g of protein each day!🥩
Day/Weight/Comment
01/28--208.1 Water weight from tea 3 days ago. 105g
01/29--207.2 Water weight is starting to go. 100g
01/30--206.1 More water. Sore from workout yesterday. Going out for lunch today. 102g
01/31--206.1 Surprised weight not up after lunch yesterday, but may be up tomorrow. Today was supposed to be gym day, but I was so exhausted I gave myself permission not to go. 102g
02/01--207.0 There's the water weight. Rest day today. 102g
02/02--206.1 Did not get all my protein in because I didn't plan for it. I also realized that when I eat less protein, I ended up eating more calories. Strength coach today. 87g
02/03--205.2 More water weight. I had a great workout with my trainer yesterday and then, once the sun came out, I took the dog out for a long walk. Going to my chiropractor today for my monthly adjustment, and if the rain holds up, I'll take the dog out for another walk. 100g
02/04--205.4 Unexpected happy hour last night, so I don't know what my total protein amount was for yesterday. However, I only had 1 drink and shared an appetizer, so I'm happy about that. Strength coach today.
02/05--206.0 I had a tough workout yesterday. 100g
02/06--206.7 I was eating at 10pm last night to meet my protein goal. This was really a weird round, a lot of up and down, but between water weight from the end of the prior round, and going out to eat twice, the results for this round isn't that surprising. I do have to say that my workouts have definitely felt great over the last week, I really think it's the increase in protein. 100g

Round 103 - Jan.28 to Feb.6
Female, 5’, 66 years. SW – 165, 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.
This round I’m keeping on with IF and want to add getting to the gym 3x a week. I also want to better plan out my gym times. Right now I tend to get into it and spend about 1 ½ hrs. there and unconsciously I think that makes me put it off. If I can make it a real habit, even if it’s only 1 hr., in the end I’m ahead.
Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 – 165 – Good day at the gym yesterday. Guess that balanced the evening snack after practice.
01/29 – 165.6 – IF last night though I sure didn’t feel like it. I suppose that is the result of giving in on Monday. Off to the gym today.
01/30
01/31 – 164.6
02/01 – 164.8 – Made it to the gym yesterday. Snack last night so no IF.
02/02 – 164.8
02/03 – 165 – Lazy day but did remember to quit eating at 7:05. Sunday evenings are really random, often snacks all evening rather than a proper meal so the calories can easily get out of hand. Off to the gym today.
02/04 – 164.8 – Good workout at the gym. No IF.
02/05 – 166.2 – Good day yesterday but supper a bit late and salty – maybe that’s why the bounce? Really didn’t expect that this a.m. but tomorrow may show what it really is. More motivation to keep up with the gym today.
02/06 – 166.4 – Good workout yesterday and pretty productive day but was doing food prep in the evening and ate a little + salt. Supper was low cal. so I figured I could afford it. Apparently not. Keeping on and definitely going for IF every day next round.10 -

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.

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.
02/01: busy day, had guests over all day and we grazed in the kitchen the whole time. I tried to make good choices but it was a big change from always being aware of what I'm eating and logging it right away. Back on track tomorrow. Had to add a protein smoothie at the end of the day to get to my protein goal.
02/02: Another rest day for me, my body is happy for it and I'm already looking forward to working out again tomorrow. Grocery shopping/meal planning day. Planning to go for a brisk walk later.
02/03: Really had to finagle at the end of the day to get my protein macro met. It's hard for me to wrap my head around eating more if I have to to get the protein in. If I'm not going to bed hungry, it feels like I'm overeating.
02/04: Weighed in: 128.6 lbs. I have lots of reasons why I decided to step on the scale this morning but the truth is that I was just too curious. Happily surprised with the results. I also moved my body fat testing day to tomorrow because the machine I use (the Inbody230) states that you shouldn't work out for 10-12 hours before using it and tomorrow is my rest day so it works better than doing it Thursday. Great leg workout this morning followed by some pickleball drills and 2 pickleball games, played primarily with my non-dominant hand. It's a work in progress . Feels so very good to be on the courts again!
02/05: Body fat testing day: Weight at the body fat testing place was 128.5 lbs. My body fat percentage went down 2.5% in 4 weeks and my weight went down 5 lbs. According to the test, those 5 pounds were almost completely from fat and I gained about .5 lbs of muscle. So very cool to see that I'm on the right track. Took pictures and measurements this morning to compare to last month and I didn't see much of a difference but I never really do see the changes in the mirror. Will keep on keeping on.
02/06: 128.5 lbs. Great upper body workout this morning and played a lot of pickleball afterwards. My elbow is really upset with me though and I've decided to go back to the doctor about it. Of course, he doesn't have any openings for 5 weeks though . Guess that gives me time to really commit to another 5 weeks of physical therapy in the meantime so I can honestly say I gave it a full 10 weeks. The good news is that I'm down 1.5 pounds for the round!

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

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 392.2 (-1.0)
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.
01/30 392.4 (-0.4)
01/31 393.4 (+1.0) – Had too many nibbles and bites yesterday. Logging it all today but I still may have a gain. I am not sure how my weekend is going to go. 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: 02/01 393.6 (+0.2)
02/02 394.0 (+0.4)
02/03 393.8 (-0.2) – I had a great weekend. I did not maintain. I went up a little bit (0.4) -- not too bad at all considering. I enjoyed my food. I skipped the cakes at super bowl party. Ate protein, no cheese. No soda. Water only. Had popcorn. If I had skipped big breakfast, I probably would have lost the whole .4 pounds and some. I had sherbet for dessert after dinner Saturday and skipped the fattening dinner dessert. As normal water lower on weekends too. So, I have 3 days to get down to the next decade. No pressure! Lol….. After all that is only 4 pounds. Yikes!! All I can do is try! I must get out of the red first! lol Have a great week Everyone! :flowerforyou:
02/04 393.8 (0.0) – I was under calories. I did have a lot of sodium. It happens. Maybe I gained more than I thought on Sunday. Anyways, we will see tomorrow. I got in my steps yesterday and I did a nice walk too. Going good today also. I am just going to stay the course and it will come off eventually.
02/05 393.6 (-0.2) – I was over my calories. I was way over my goal steps which probably helped me not to have a gain. Well I will be very lucky to get a maintain at this point for this round. I had a very good session with my therapist last night. We talked about the importance of sleep. So, before I see her next week, I am going to be in bed by midnight 3 nights. I was in there last night so 1 down 2 to go! She was pleased with my progress even though I had not lost a lot of weight in 2 weeks.
02/06 393.0 (-0.6) – I was over my calories yesterday and did not get in my steps. I did not get in the bed before midnight. Today is a new day. I turned down Bundt cakes. I was still down today. I just could not rebound from early gains. Next round I am still keeping my same goal weight of 388. See you wonderful people in round 104! :flowerforyou:
Total change this round: (+0.8) (SW 392.2 CW 393.0 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.My highest weight was 611 in 2003. Weight in 2004 before weight loss surgery was 580. Lowest weight after surgery was 302 in 2007. "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"
In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.
In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs
I joined MFP on March 27, 2010 weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.
I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.
Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.
Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.
On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Out Patient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I actually gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and my the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.
My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively everyday. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Everyday I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.
Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us.

Day/Weight/Comment
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.
02/01 – 171.6 – Woosh! Nice way to start a new month. Cool and dreary day, but my husband and I walked the marsh trail in the park after lunch. It was great to get out, even though we kept it short because DH isn’t a fan of damp, chilly weather. Made some progress on chores this afternoon and stayed within my calorie limit, even with a post-dinner snack of wine and chocolate.
02/02 – 171.8 – Managed to fit in another short walk at the park before my daughter and her family arrived for lunch. Went about 250 calories over today, but I’d banked plenty this week. The high sodium, however, will probably get me and I’ll likely see a bump up tomorrow. Not too worried though, as I’ve learned to take those fluctuations in stride. Just more reason to get right back on track.
02/03 – 171.8 – Honestly surprised not to be up today, but no complaints! A gorgeous, unseasonably warm day, so I opted for a walk at the beach rather than the gym. Lunch out with my daughter, but I had a lighter dinner and met my calorie goal. Got some laundry done and made a dent in the never-ending grading. Overall, a good day with all goals met.
02/04 – 171.8 – Another unseasonably warm day, like a promise of Spring! Tuesdays are my busiest day, but I made it to the gym between classes and even got to take a short walk outdoors when the sun came out. My NSV was discovering I could grade HW on my phone while keeping up a good pace on the recumbent bike – woo hoo! Only works for simple scoring or marking work complete, but what a timesaver! Met my hydration and calorie goals too 😊
02/05 – 171.2 – Nice! Especially if I can hang onto it for tomorrow. Dressed for the gym this morning but got bogged down with work and had to use this as a rest day instead. I’ll just have to step it up tomorrow. On the up side, I did get quite a lot done, both for my classes and at home. Good hydration, and just a bit (23 cal.) over my calorie limit. One more weigh-in to go.
02/06 – 170.8 – Surprised to be down again, but I’ll take it. All goals met again.
Round 103 results: - 3.6 lbs. A big win this round to balance out gains in 101 and 102. Patience and perspective are really paying off
