After more than a year of tracking calories and fat grams and exercise, I am no longer pre-diabetic! My bloodwork all came back normal. My Fitness Pal has been so helpful--and I appreciate all of you here talking/sharing about your weight loss.

Congrats!!

@OnceAndFutureAthlete I hope you aren't actually eating below BMR (basal metabolic rate) - what tool were you using? BMR is the number of calories you'd burn in a day if you were in a coma, the absolute bare minimum number of calories your body needs to keep you alive. Did you mean TDEE (total daily energy expenditure, which accounts for things like purposeful exercise and going about your daily business of not being in a coma)?

Hmmmm. Food for thought, as they say. I used the BMR calculator in the MFP "APPS" section. Hadn't thought about the difference between BMR and TDEE, although my day is usually sitting at my computer 10-12 hours for work, so they probably are pretty close to the same.
I have been taking the dog for longer and longer walks, which is already getting easier, and so do plan to start a more structured exercise plan after a few more pounds, so I know that will help up the calories "allowed" and/or the deficit.

Thanks for the insight.

Also, Happy Birthday!!!

Thanks!

I don't see a BMR calculator in the Apps section, on desktop or mobile, so I'm still not sure what you were looking at. But even if you do have a desk job, you do burn more calories per day doing that than laying perfectly still in bed and not doing much else besides breathing. Fidgeting, getting up to get coffee or use the restroom, shuffling papers around on your desk, all of that contributes to your NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis), which is what MFP uses to estimate your calorie budget. The basic difference between NEAT and TDEE is that TDEE does count purposeful exercise - that's why MFP wants you to log your purposeful exercise separately and eat those calories back, because the NEAT doesn't take that into account (see: non-exercise activity thermogenesis). (I decided logging my exercise is a hassle, so I just manually reset my calories to my TDEE minus about 500, since the exercise has become a daily habit at this point, so my activity level is pretty consistent week-to-week. I used tdeecalculator.net.) And yeah, exercising more will allow you to eat more, which I'd be lying if I said that's not the primary reason I exercise, LMAO

but hey, whatever gets you up and moving is valid!

Good Morning.

New to this group and need support.

...
I recently got engaged and I am getting married in the fall (approximately 4 months to go) and have REALLY been struggling to get this weight off. My goal for June is to exercise 30 minutes every day and to drink more water!

GW: 180?

Hi Everyone! I'm Lynne. New here, but not to trying to lose this dang weight. My goals are to honestly log what I eat every day instead of skipping a thing here or there to make myself feel better, and to get out and walk at least once a day. I hate the heat so I've been going around 830ish at night here when it isn't that bad out

I've been considering trying weight loss surgery. I got pretty far last time with seeing the docs, doing the program and losing weight but chickened out when I got my surgery date. I would rather do it on my own, but struggle so much.

I think for June I would like to just be down a definite 10 pounds, so I can say I am back under 300 for sure!!

That honesty can be hard! I've been convinced for years that is no one sees me eat, it didn't count. Uhh, my STOMACH knows i did that!

Now I keep telling myself "you're only cheating you."

Today was a good day. My roomie ate the last two brownies bc i didn't! (She can afford to.) So I'm under my calorie goal and over my step goal, and in bed on time.

Honesty is important, I'm proud of you for staying accountable. Did you go over your weekly calories by 3500? If not, that +1 lb is not fat. And if it is, well, you know why it happened and you know how to keep it from happening again. You got this.

jkdenizard · June 2021

Hi All- My name is Joyce. I’m a 41 year old mom of two teens living in FL. I’ve battled with my weight for most of my life. Up and down. After seeing some very unflattering pictures of myself and feeling like crap all the time, I’m ready to start this journey AGAIN.

I’ve been dealing with depression & anxiety over the years but it is getting better each day. Quarantine came at a perfect time in my life as my marriage was falling apart and my depression was deep. It gave me the opportunity for reset. I was doing well for a bit but recently started to feel myself go down again. I am actively trying to pay attention to my mental health. I really feel like focusing on my physical health will help improve my mental health.

I’m trying to find some hobbies. I got into plants this year (like so many others). I love to dance. I used to be an avid reader but my attention span has caused me to not read as much.

✔️I use Map My Walk to track my walks. I’m aiming for 5 days/ week.
✔️ Increase water intake to half my body weight.
✔️ Track food intake daily.
✔️ Come up with simple meals. I HATE cooking and am not good at it.

I would love some friends who are on a similar journey.

AlexandraFindsHerself1971 · June 2021

Well, I have a good short-term goal; I'll see the doctor late in July and I'd like to be so far down that even in the middle of the day after lunch I've lost 1/3 of the weight I need to lose. So getting below 240 would do that for me.

I had a fight with my boyfriend this morning and cried and walked around the yard a lot....and didn't go eat anything. This is a victory. And now I am making lunch, and everything is okay, and we'll eat lunch and I'll see if I can go work out or if the headache I feel threatening is going to happen, because in that case I'll be lying down in a dark room after lunch, and I'll have to work out after dinner.

speyerj · June 2021

@LynneM1980 - you can do this and you don't need weight loss surgery to manage it. The surgery is not a miracle cure. Bariatric surgery works if you are super careful about everything you eat for the rest of your life. While that isn't so different from what you need to do to maintain weight loss, there is a big difference. If you aren't careful about what you eat, the order you eat it and the quantities of the food you eat after bariatric surgery, you will become violently ill. Perhaps that helps some people stay on track. For me, I'd rather have my only punishment for going off track be a slight uptick in the scale the next day or feeling overly full.

A long time ago I was planning on having the surgery because I thought it was the only way I could be successful at loosing weight. My insurance required me to work with my doctor on a weight loss plan for 6 months before they would approve it. I did everything I was supposed to do, and at the end of 6 months, I had lost 50 pounds and got my authorization for the surgery. I called the surgeon to set a date. But when the surgical center asked me for my current weight, they had some bad news for me - I had lost too much weight on my own - I no longer medically qualified for the surgery because my BMI was below 35. So I just kept on losing. Long story short, I lost 100 pounds, but didn't keep it off, gained it back, but then restarted MFP again and lost 125 pounds and have kept it off now for nearly a year.

But there were some positives with exploring the surgical route - knowing that surgery was an option gave me hope. And the experience taught me I could lose the weight on my own with outside support. But I am so grateful I did not have the surgery. If you think it is the right choice for you, read everything you can about how you will need to manage your eating for the rest of your life and decide if that is something you can live with. Surgery or not, you will need to manage your eating for the rest of your life if you want to maintain, but how you manage it will be different if you have the surgery.

Wednesday weigh in day. I did not do particularly well this past week, so I was not expecting much of a loss. Still, a loss is a loss and I'll accept the 1/2 pound loss gladly. I am recommitting today to a better week and a bigger loss for the next check in. Started it our great with 85 minutes of walking this morning.
June 2 - 207.2
June 9 - 206.7 (- .5)
June 16 -
June 23 -
June 30 -

Wishing you all a great week while you work on becoming your best self. WE'VE GOT THIS !

LisaKinVA · June 2021

Hi ... it's me again. Less than 10 pounds away from seeing a leading "1" on the scale. Could be this month ... could be next month. I have no idea what my body is going to do. I just have to keep reminding myself that "slow weight loss is sustainable weight loss."

This week is a struggle. Mostly, because I'm just not hungry for anything we have in the house to eat. I'm not really struggling with "cravings" -- mostly that the food is just, well boring. I try to change things up now and then -- but I just didn't plan food out for the week. So, I didn't shop. And well... I'm left with boring food. I've been on the pool deck sweating for the past two nights, and that has left me tired as well -- not sure why I'm not waking up rested, though. I know some of it could be simply my age. I just feel all brain foggy and blah. And, I can't afford to be either. I write for a living -- and need to be writing. And, then I coach 70+ kids every day with swimming, trying to teach high schoolers HOW to coach, and the families, and the admin.

@goal06082021 Thanks for the advice. I tried local shelters and rescue groups but no one has room for her because it is kitten season. I had an appointment to have her spayed with a TNR group last week but cancelled it. I believe she is pregnant. The spay would have been a spay/abort. 2 out of my 3 cats have been stays I found outside as kittens. Harvest Moon was approximately 8 weeks when I found her and Elsa was about 4 weeks. Elsa was so little and sick. I spent time with her round the clock and nursed her back to health. The thought of aborting these kittens didn't sit right with me or my husband so I cancelled the appointment. He agreed to Anna living with us through birth and until the kittens could be weaned then adopted out. We will have her spayed and release her if I am not able to bond and domesticate her before then. My neighbor feeds the ferals in the area so the plan would be to introduce her to the colony and help my neighbor with the feeding of the cats.

I am about 3/4 through the process prior to WLS and am having the same misgivings you did, thinking of not going through with it. I have spent a long time getting my brain in the right place, so I believe I will go through with it. it's very scary!!

LynneM1980 · June 2021

Thanks for the advice and welcomes everyone!! I reallllly don't want to do the surgery but am scared that I can not do it on my own. I'm figuring the process might be the kick in the pants I need this go round!

Hi again everyone, Jess 35/F/Sydney Australia

Sorry lurking and not commenting much. If anyone wants to add me as a friend please do so - I happily share my diary for accountability and will like and comment on your feed so we can motivate and support one another

Goals for June:
1. Keep at it with trying to eat smaller portions. I still find this such a challenge! Last night I stopped eating my dinner when I was full, leaving a bit of food on my plate. But my partner was still eating, and we were chatting, I suppose I was on auto pilot... suddenly I was scraping up the crumbs on my plate. It was a healthy dinner, and I had accounted for all the calories I ate, but sometimes it's like I'm this ravenous monster that must eat all food in sight...

speyerj wrote: »

it's only hopeless if you view this way of eating as a temporary thing. It's not.

So true -- thank you for this, it's what I needed to hear today.
2. More exercise: Trying to do something every day, but it's so COLD outside -- it's WINTER in Australia!!
3. Drink more water.

@FadedNovelty hey, happy birthday! today is also my birthday

When you say you "do good" during the day and then "totally bomb" at night, do you mean you eat as little as possible during the day so that come nighttime you're hungry AF and then way overshoot your calories because you ain't hardly et anything all day?

@goal06082021 Not really, I do tend to not eat a lot for breakfast, but that's mostly because I don't like to eat much in the mornings and I have to drink a lot of liquid in the morning (due to a medicine I take). But I do make sure I eat something for breakfast. I also eat plenty for lunch. I think this week has been challenging because I increased my exercise and started doing a morning workout. My body isn't used to it yet so I have been hungrier than usual!

Ah, okay, well I'm glad you're not doing that thing I said - I know from experience that it doesn't work and it's just a miserable way to go about your business in general. But yeah, increasing your activity will take some getting used to! I, probably foolishly, went from no exercise to daily morning workouts when I started most recently back in November - no gradual easing into moving more, I didn't start with short walks like I advise other people to do here LMAO. Nope, just, Monday morning, blow the cobwebs off my gym clothes and load up a workout video on my phone. I had to sit on the couch for ten minutes when I was done and was a little shaky in the shower right after, so I started eating a (weighed!) spoonful of peanut butter before cuing up the videos every morning and that helped a lot. Within about 3 months I was able to work out fasted first thing and eat afterward - I don't believe that's the correct order of operations for everybody, I know everyone is different in terms of when their body is most receptive to both food and exercise, but it's what works for me at this point in time.

LisaKinVA · June 2021

Good morning ... I have my referral for my x-ray. My sonogram did reveal a 5cm cyst on my right ovary -- but I don't think it's anything to worry about. However, I have to repeat the sonogram in 6 weeks "just in case." I was a bit surprised that my OB had no idea regarding my hormone levels -- I thought for certain that due to my age, and simply not being seen regularly that when they did all of the blood work they would have checked all of that. So now, since they don't know how far into perimenopause I am, I need another sonogram for something that is probably just a normal monthly (or thereabout) bodily function.

I did have a nice breakfast ... probably having spaghetti with a green salad for lunch. Not sure about dinner, yet. But, making shopping lists and cleaning out the fridge.

Was going to post this yesterday, but, I have been so busy, it totally skipped my mind. I also did not take a 1 year picture. I will see if I can get my friend to take a full one for me this weekend.

SW (6/9/2020): 330.0lbs
Month SW (5/31/21): 218.6lbs
Goal weight: 180lbs
Weigh-in day: Saturdays
6/5: 217.2lbs (-1.4lbs)
6/9: 217.2lbs (1 year anniversary of weight-loss journey) - 112.8lbs lost total

I know things may seem challenging at times and we want to give up and revert to old habits (or maybe even do that for a little while). Things that I have learned this year when this happens:

- With persistence and consistency, over time, our hard work pays off.
- Remember, what matters is not that you fell off the "wagon" but, that you got back on!!
- What you do during your journey matters
- Be Gentle on Yourself - Your first instinct might be to beat yourself up for not "doing something right" or for eating the "wrong thing", but getting stuck in negative thought patterns only makes the cycle worse
- Avoid triggers if you can
- Take things one day at a time
- Use "smart" goals if needed
- Do not deny yourself something that you really want just because you feel it may seem un-healthy or "not accepted on your new path"
- People are going to keep judging you the more you lose weight and may throw "shade your way" - try not to let it bother you too much or derail you.
- Reach out to like minded people on the forum if you need to (kick pride to the curb)
- Try new recipes, you never know what you may end up liking
- If you get overwhelmed, go back to the basics
- Do exercises that you enjoy or can have fun with if you are struggling with working out
- Always, always listen to your body.

Thank you all for being here for me even when I do not get a chance to come on and post or cheer you all on.

I’m pretty sure my gain this week is TOM related because I have changed nothing so I’m going to ride it out for another week and see what happens. If in another week there is no change, I’ll see if there are some things I can adjust to shake things up a bit. I’ve also lost 3lbs/week for 2 of the past 3 weeks so this could be my body recouping some of that loss. I have a vacation coming up at the end of next week and I wanted to be solidly under 180 by that time but I know that my body’s gonna do what it’s gonna do and the best I can do is stay consistent and trust that everything will come in time!

I made a killer chicken vegetable soup this week that has been SO delicious. I’m trying to grow my recipe collection up to a 6 week rotation (thanks for the advice @goal06082021 😉) so I’m trying out a few new recipes in the next couple of weeks so that I can have a solid rotation.

I’ve been noticing that this time around, my body is shaped differently than last time I was at this weight: I’m much more pear-shaped than I was 5-6 years ago. I don’t know if this is because the weight is coming off from different parts of my body at a different rate or if this is the way my body prefers to be or if it’s workout-related - we shall see! My upper thighs are currently very full of dimples (which I get a nice view of every morning when I warm up with some downward dog), so I’m assuming there will be some significant evening out happening there in time.

Sending light and love to you all this week! We got this!

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.

@KeriA are you from the area? I live in N. Snohomish county and I LOVE your analogy!

I still seem to be having a bit of a plateau, I’ve been fluctuating all week, but I’m thinking this is due to the lack of exercise lately, my daily walks have been replaced by packing boxes, and whilst that is still exercise of sorts, it’s just not pushing me in the same way that going out for a walk each day does. Unfortunately, until we move, I’m going to be hard pressed to find the time in between working full time during the day and trying to sort the house out each evening to fit long walks in. Once we’ve moved things should start to be easier, and where we’re moving to is surrounded by fields and walk-ways, so no excuse then! We will be living very close to a Stately Home and I will be able to walk around the grounds which are open to the public, and there are loads of bridleways through the extensive surrounding land. They also have a heard of deer there, so I shall be out and about with my camera much more taking pictures, so I’m looking forward to that.

NSV – I’ve lost at least an inch from all my measurement areas, waist, back, arms, thighs etc so that was a good moral boost.

Just reading a few posts discussing eating breakfast; I don’t eat breakfast, I never have. It’s not that I’m trying to skip a meal, or save calories or anything like that, I just can’t stomach food when I wake up. I’m not a morning person at all, it’s basically all I can do to drink coffee and not kill anyone, so I don’t tend to eat until lunchtime each day. I have tried forcing myself to eat in the morning, but it makes me feel bloated and sluggish, so I just don’t bother. A large black coffee is my go-to.

Here’s hoping the next week brings everyone a step closer to their goals.
