Uggg i feel like i keep restarting and restarting. Last yeah i was in it to win it. Gym, keto. Then covid. I lost all hope and was depressed. In the winter we did a Maintain dont Gain over the holidays at work. I didnt gain anything and actually lost a few pounds. Then stuff started going back to normal and the family and friends dinners and drinks started up. I was so happy to be normal i have been overundulging. My boyfriend was recently diagnosed as diabetic so now we are making like changes. I am going to the gym every day and tracking food intake. Im still depressed about how i look and it causes sadness everyday. I just want to eat a giant cheesy pizza and deluxe nachos and beer. 10 years ago i lost 75 lbs and i gained it all back. Soo again.

HUGS! I would love friends on here if you’re looking for any. You’ve got this. You did it before! When health is on the line I think it makes weight loss and being overall healthy much more of a priority.6 -
@christine237lucy
I so understand where you’re coming from. After I had my second baby I lost 50 pounds and was feeling great. I gained it all back once we moved across country and I got pregnant again. The extra weight can be so depressing to the point I don’t even want to leave my house. I’m also getting tested at the end of this month to see if I have diabetes since it does run in my family and I had gestational diabetes three times. I’m fighting my way back towards a better me. I want to be healthy for me and my kids and I don’t want to feel uncomfortable in my own body because I only have one. It’s hard but we are worth it.9 -

Where have I been? After my youngest got full immunity and we celebrated their birthday we went on a long weekend trip to the beach. I know that next month work will pick up and it had been a while since we took another short Covid careful trip to the beach before I started back to work. We cooked all our meals on that trip. But this trip was different. I didn't want to cook since I am working now. I wanted a pool to swim in. I miss aquafit so much. I wanted to see the ocean again. So everyday we took a long walk on the beach in the surf and went to the pool (indoors - this is Washington) and my husband and I had a great time remembering all our water aerobic exercises. We had the pool mostly to ourselves. We ate at some good restaurants and cafes. The week before the trip was the 1st time we had eaten out. We were a bit concerned since rural Washington isn't as vaccinated as urban Washington. However we found that all the businesses were still following all the COVID protocols so with being vaccinated we felt safe. Of course we have been back this past short work week but we haven't even had time to go to the grocery store. We did go get our hair cut finally. So 2 things have wreaked havoc with the scale - eating out/take out and all that exercise using muscles that I don't use much. My muscles were screaming after walking in the surf. I was wondering because that hasn't ever happened before. However I realized that aquafit used those muscles you use pushing your legs through the water and we haven't gone back to the Y yet and they don't have Aquafit classes yet. I do not have to have a class. I just need to know I can get in that pool regularly enough to make the membership dues worth paying. So it was a long time since I had used those muscles.
This morning we spent half the day cleaning house. My son and his wife are coming into town soon. I had a walk and a strength training session this past week. So what I need to do is to get back to my healthy routine of eating healthy food at home and go back to my walks, strength training, drinking water and getting sleep. I meal planned and have a grocery list but just have to go. I actually tried to log my meals on my trip but it wanted me to log in and I hadn't taken my password with me so I started logging this past week again. I like the name of the thread this month. It fits where I am now. I am ready to get the job done at work, at home and getting healthy.

Never lost anything this week, posted my stats further up but I did have a NSV. I tried on a top that I bought a couple of years ago that I struggled to get my arms into when I bought it, it was far too narrow across the shoulders and It was so bad that when I tried it on for the first time I was stuck in it and didn't think it would come off without ripping it. I didn't want to send it back at the time cause I was embarrassed to admit it didn't fit but when I opened the wardrobe on Friday I saw it and thought I wonder if it fits yet and it did, its actually a nice fit now, I also managed to slide myself into a smaller pair of jeans, want to lose another few pounds before I try the new jumper again but hopefully won't be long till I can wear it.
Going to be doing a lot of work in the garden over the next month so will be burning plenty of calories and hopefully building muscle, lots of digging to be done and I'm really looking forward to getting stuck in.7 -
I wanted to share a huge NSV that I had yesterday. For the last several years I have only been able to shop in plus sized specialty stores or the tiny, under stocked plus size sections. Yesterday I went shopping with my mom and only selected clothing from the straight sized section. Literally EVERYTHING I tried on fit well. Gone are the 3x and size 20’s. Hello to L/XL and size 16!!!
I still have so much further to go but happy to have reached this milestone!19 -
@kelMee2 and @sandielewis2001 congrats on the great NSV’s! 👏🏻👏🏻2

Well I am almost back to where I was before my trip. We are going grocery shopping after breakfast so that will help get the rest of the way down. Yesterday we cleaned house and today a big shopping trip. Next week I will get back to my exercise schedule. I will look as many posts as I can now.3 -

@sandielewis2 That is a great NSV and yes huge.
@kelMee2 nice NSV
@christine2371 You know what to do. I expect we will be seeing progress soon for you.
@jazzadesigns you are off to a good start already. Have a happy birthday this week.
@CariTJR I agree with you about losing in a sustainable way. The point is not just lose weight but find a way to keep it off in the long term. I used to run too and really miss it. My doctors told me to stop.
@SammiGirl1321 Yes sleep will affect weight loss. Hope you get more this week.
@rhaiin you can edit for about an hour after you post but after that I don’t think you can.
@goal06082021 Good job eating only what you planned. Have a Happy Birthday! We have 2 cats two. They are almost twins. Only we can tell them apart. My youngest spends most of her money on cat toys etc.
@speyerj loved the summary of your success! Happy anniversary here!
@Reilly1969 Yes! Focus on success ahead.
@CasandraW This isn’t a matter of losing the weight as much as learning to eat and get fit in a sustainable way. It isn’t about how we look but how we feel. Just keep taking care of yourself.
@Inky_one hope you have a great week.
@finngirl61 Nice to see you posting; soory it has been hard lately and I hope you have a good week.
@uyister great scale and NSVs
@LisaGetsMoving Onderland is coming soon for you!
@Pamici9 Nice progress. I liked reading your post on how you are doing.
@azalea4175 I haven’t started measuring yet either. I am waiting until I can update them on MFP from the last time I updated them when I was lighter and fitter.
@MaryRose1180 I have had a few support groups on here when I lost last time so I really searched for one this time. Finally I just happened on this one and it has been great. It help me lose 20 lbs during the pandemic. Most have lost more.
@qclady2 I have upped my exercise which was hard for me since I don’t have a pool now for Aquafit. But I am struggling with that general activity level you do so well with. Gardening is great.
@KimmieSauce Wow you are almost in Onderland.
@itisjessdarling Look forward and not backwards. I think of my weight loss as coming down from the Pacific Crest and having to go down and up and down through the foothills to get to the Salish Sea (Puget Sound). Eventually the foothills and valleys become gentle slopes and as long as they are heading in the right direction you will get there. Enjoy the journey.8 -
Sometimes, a lunch is an ice cream cone from CVS that you eat hurriedly in your car, because you severely misunderestimated your ability to hike three and a half miles in 90F weather with only a bowl of oatmeal and some broccoli-cheddar quiche in your belly. The quiche was a last-minute decision, hubs and I stopped by a local coffee shop before we went off to our respective Sunday activities, and I shudder to think what kind of dire straits I might have found myself in if I hadn't opted for those 350 or so extra calories.
Let me preface this by saying I'm fine, I did make it back home. But for a minute there...I think I might need a bigger water container if I'm going to keep doing these ambitious hikes. One of the natural areas nearby is sort of divided by major roads into 3 sections, but there's only parking at 2 of them - I drove around for almost half an hour looking for somewhere to park near the southern section, there simply isn't a parking area. So I had to park at the northern section and hike about half a mile to the major road, cross, and find the "entrance" to the southern section - the path there is a ~2-mile loop, sort of shaped like a letter Q, with the "tail" of the Q connecting the loop to the major road. There are a couple of sketchy bridges on the trail over streams/a creek, one of which was someone's Eagle Scout project once upon a time per the plaque attached to it. I got about three-quarters of the way around the loop, when there was a fork. One path was the rest of the loop, the other cut over to the other major road that borders these three sections of the natural area. I chose option B, had to find a hole in the fence to get onto the sidewalk, almost stepped on a tortoise having his own lunch (saw him just in time), and then walked about a mile on the sidewalk back to my car. I poured probably a good quarter-cup of sand out of my shoes by the time I was done. I think it would have been easier/less arduous if the path was shadier - there's a small hammock at the base of the Q which is shady, but the rest of it is pretty much open-air scrubland, which is beautiful but harsh to walk around in, even with sunglasses and a ball cap for protection.5 -

I didn't go to the gym on Friday because of overtime at work, but I did go Sunday morning instead. The bloat is finally gone and I am seeing that reflected on the scale. I'm looking forward to a big drop on my official Friday weigh-in, even though I know some of it was just water weight.8
-
Very busy the last week. Scale is up a bit. Probably extra water weight with the higher temps and sodium foods over the weekend. Did not get my official MFP weigh in on Friday. I was at my mom's house and she didn't have batteries for her digital scale. I wasn't at my house until Sat night.
My mom was leaving for her vacation house so had to go to her house all last weekend until she left Wed. Now I get to pick up her mail as she can't do her forwarding yet. Her house is a food trap so I have to plan better when grabbing things for my house and just cleaning up her house.
My cousin from out of state come up to get her sister so I spent a few days with them. It's a reminder to plan to visit them more often now.
Back to having my life back for a bit without doing everything for others daily lol. Have a few more days of weeding before going back to gym plans with strength training3 -
Up a bit this month because I had a ton of health stuff going on and haven't been watching what I eat very well.
Age: 35 (36 in a few days!)
Height: 5'8"
SW (end of 12/2020) 245
CW: 218 (hoping that some of it is water weight/bloating because I was down to 212 oops)
Weight Goal this month: 210. I may or may not reach it depending on what my current weight settles at after the food baby is processed.
Other goals this month: track everything I eat, exercise every day
My exercise has been going well at least! I have been doing one workout a day at least, some days I do two workouts. If I kept my eating under control I would be a lot better off!4 -
@christine237lucy
I can totally understand!! I am finally feeling a little better, check your vitamin D level!! I had to take prescription Vitamin D for 8 weeks because mine was so low. That will make a HUGE difference! You are on the right track!
No weight loss this week, scale stayed the same. Wearing another item that was too tight last summer, so that is a NSV! not drinking enough water I know, so I am going to concentrate on that.
Have a good week everyone!!
