Day/Weight/Comment
10/18 …..185.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
10/19 …..186.6 ….. [/color=fblue (trend weight 186.9) Not such a great start to this round. Meals were great yesterday. Movement very little due to doctor appointment. Also friends and well-wishers stopping by before my surgery Friday one with two types of very unique homemade cookies, another with a crème pie. Another with apple bread lightly glazed. Reno folks were here too. Some good progress was made on that front in the landscaping department. I shared all the goodies with the workers so there is not too much left today. I’m going to try for an excellent day today. It is supposed to be a beautiful day for this time of year in my neck of the woods. Perhaps some yard walking since I won’t be able to leave. I live on a hill so there are lots of opportunities to walk steep.
10/20 …..185.0 ….. (trend weight 186.8) I got a bad report from two EKG’s they did for pre-op. It appears the left side of my heart is not flowing blood smoothly like the right. There are delays, hiccups, sputters etc that may indicate a blockage. They will talk to a cardiologist to get the EKG’s looked at (they tried it twice) to make sure I’m okay for surgery but it should be okay because they will not be using a ventilator. When I originally did my Chemo, they said that one of my medication bags held a chemo med that could cause left ventricle problems in the future. So here I am….. I think there will be a cardiologist in my future unfortunately. So far I have not heard that this will stop my current surgery so I will spend tonight packing and I’ll be leaving in tomorrow. I’ll be back on Saturday night. I use a home PC for myfitnesspal so I don’t know if I will be able to check in or not. I will certainly try. I will record my weight in the morning before I leave. I feel okay about this surgery, just not okay about the new info on the heart!

🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
🎃🎃🎃 OCTOBER 🎃🎃🎃
🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
I was after an elusive 85 lbs loss 😂 but 83 will do me fine. (Now 85 😁)
• In Maintenance for over 2 years.
• Smart BMI - optimal weight.
• Muscle/Fat %ages in normal rangeJust because Covid restrictions aren’t compulsory doesn’t mean they’re not necessarily. People are still dying out there………
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
October focus:- maintain weight < 150 (I have been maintaining since July 2019)
- Work on improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
I liked this so much I'm borrowing it.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180's; 170's; 160's; 150's; 140's; 130's
Aims:2021 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 164- Maintain weight < 150
- 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 by keeping busy
Never give up! Never give in!
Recent Back Story:- 2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
- 2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
- 2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
- That's a WIN in my book!
- 2021
- Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
- (One good thing about Covid is that I don't have to traverse the minefield of family celebration meals.)

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

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. 
*One of my major goals is to get my BMI under 40 (260 weight) so I can have surgery on my knees *[color]11 -
Round 166 (98th for me). I need this to help keep me on track.
@QuiltingJaine-thank you for setting up the new round.
Challenge for this round is to get back on track – want to drop a few pounds by the start of December as I feel more comfy in a dress I want to wear for Peaky Blinders night – any loss will be a win!
Covid restrictions have mostly been lifted in England – we reached “freedom day” sometime ago, but remember there is still a pandemic: Covid is still around! Continue to wash hands, be kind, wear a mask in public indoor settings, always consider others.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/19: 79kg. I lost 2.5 stone a few years back but a divorce, house move and then Covid misery has seen me put it all back on again. My indigestion is bad, my joints ache and I feel sluggish and grumpy. All things I know are improved with a better diet and more exercise so back to MFP I go!
10/20: 78kg (12st 4lb). It's always easy for week 1!!
10/21: 77kg (12st 1lb). Indigestion is still playing up but have made careful food choices and made the conscious effort to walk just that bit further on my dog walks. Am well aware that this is all water loss and the hard work starts now to keep the scales moving down.

10/19 - 146.9
10/20 - 145.7
10/21 - 144.9 - This is a false weight. Just as I came in to eat lunch, I was notified of another death in the family. BF's ex-FIL passed yesterday morning. It was a gut punch and I immediately lost my appetite and didn't eat anything. Had a nice filling dinner of homemade shrimp and crawfish etouffee made by Fam who came to say hello to us for a few minutes, though. Slept like a rock last night, I guess I was more tired than I thought because I fell asleep so quickly and didn't really move. I know I woke up a few times to roll over and deal with the dog stealing blankets, but I don't remember it like I normally would. Hopefully they're ready today to finish up outage, otherwise electricians have no more work and it'll be a long boring day. At least it's my Friday

Previous Day's Comments10/19 - Bit of an uptick from a hectic evening stuffing my face so I could jump in the shower and get to bed in a timely manner. BF should be home about the same time as me tonight. I have dinner stuff made up, not sure if he'll eat it or not. We shall see. Wasn't overly hungry yesterday at lunch so only ate half. Dinner wasn't super large, either. Today I'll skip the breakfast burrito if they bring them, but I had to try yesterday since they said they were good. Water is good. Could've drank more yesterday but I was definitely running around a bit more unexpectedly. Lots of steps in, though! Today will likely be more of the same, steps wise. Will be sure to keep more water handy
10/20 - Shocked to be down. BF made it home safe last night. He didn't want my salmon so he made venison tenderloin with rice and steamed veggies (bringing salmon for lunch instead). Didn't eat until 8pm and I didn't go to bed until 9. Short night of sleep for me, but good to spend some time with him after 2 weeks. Apparently I'm in trouble with his dad because I couldn't make it up there. Unfortunately with outage work and us not being legally married, I don't get bereavement for his family and I couldn't take vacation time. I think he understood, but he hasn't met me and I think he's afraid he won't get to. BF doesn't have PTO left for this year so I think we may make a trip next year? We shall see. Another day of walking yesterday, though not as many steps since we did most of the work Monday (11000 vs 14000). Today we have to monitor contractors doing work and have 2 little tasks at hand to get done. Other than that, not much. Going to be a long 2 days for me since even the smallest tasks I'm not authorized to assist with (shadowing electricians... I'd rather not be accidentally shocked anyway). Days are longer when you're not doing much to pass time. Oh well. Keeping up with water well enough, which is good and keeps me making walking trips to the office haha!

SW (starting over--May 24, 2021): 160.3I started mfp on 2/20/11 at 160.2 lbs.
My lowest weight on mfp was 140 lbs in 11/2013 and 5/2014.
My highest weight ever: 168+ (and I wasn't even pregnant at that time... ) That was in 12/2016.
Just for the record used to be an athlete a long, long time ago. Used to teach Aerobics and Step Aerobics. Used to LOVE exercise.
Nowadays, I don't exercise at all. Why, oh why not? How can I go from loving exercise and doing tons of exercise to nothing at all?
Going from low blood pressure to being on medication for high blood pressure. What have I done to myself?!

**********************************************
10/19 148.4 (trend 149.9) I hit last round's goal weight today so I'm pleased about that, also got my trend weight below 150 so have changed my UGW trend to my healthy weight BMI, it seems like such a long way off but it's only 7.2lbs away, totally doable!
I had a terrible night's sleep, anxiety and knowing I have a busy day ahead today working with my plumber and electrician kept me awake until 5am, then my alarm went off at 6.30... don't know how I'm gonna get through today without lots of sugar but I'll do my best!
Goal weight for this round is 10.5St (147lbs) which is the weight I was when I met my husband 9.5 years ago.
10/20 148.4 (trend 149.7) Feeling much brighter today after a good sleep. I need to really focus on drinking more water and getting more nutrients as I've been relying too much on snacky foods like deli meats, crackers and cheese and not having enough vitamins, and I've been drinking too much coffee. Need to R&R, rest and rehydrate, rather than depending on stimulants and fatty salty food to keep my energy up.150 cals over yesterday but it was a long busy day.
10/21 147.4 (trend 149.4) Excited to see 147 with a 1lb drop overnight. It feels like I've been very slowly creeping down for ages so to get a bigger drop is great, I hope it sticks! Also my BMI is 25.8 so I'm in close range of a healthy weight (24.9), not too far now! Still my trend weight has to catch up, so I'm not getting complacent. Had a huge chicken salad last night, first time I've had any proper volume in my stomach for several days, felt good!

Previous days10/19 116.6 post run Did not post, the day got away from me.10/21 117.6 I think it was. This is a normal blip up for me because of where I’m at with my cycle. I started the morning with a 45 minute spin bike ride to mix it up a little bit because I’ve been increasing my running distance a bit this week/wanted to give different parts of my body a rest. Food was good yesterday and hopefully it will be again today, too! Work will be busy but that’s always a good thing because it makes the day go by fast! I plan on going for a walk during my lunch today too. It’s supposed to be in the 70s today which is pretty warm for this late in October. Happy almost Friday everyone!
10/20 116.4 post run. Got a 5 mile run in this morning which felt pretty good. Food was on track all day yesterday as well. Looking forward to another good day with food and squeezing in some strength training on my lunch today too.

Day, Weight, Comment
Previous days :
10/19 73.5 (+0.1kg) 162.0 (+0.2lbs) Kept my carbs under 20gr, walked to and from the office which is 8km total. Not sure where the gains are coming from but I'm guessing I'm putting back on the muscles I lost while I was in the wheelchair. My clothes don't fit any different but there's certainly more muscles in my legs where they had totally disappeared. The walking is going so well I might even try running (or hobbling along lol) Big day for my father today, we've got an appointment this afternoon where they're going to tell us the grading of the cancer and the proposed treatment. I'm quite conflicted with all this, my father is not the nicest of persons and my adolescence was pretty awful, a lot of my food issues are to do with him, so becoming his sole caregiver is a well of contradictory emotions. I'm trying not to compensate with food as I did as a teenager.
10/20 73.1kg (-0.4kg) 161.1 (-0.9 lbs) Pretty happy with that, I think all the walking is paying off, I walked again the 8km yesterday and I'm doing some yoga morning and evening for stretching. For Dad, they're opting for the chimio/radiotherapy combination and they're reasonably optimistic. They're calling it a curative treatment compared to a palliative treatment. Nothing special planned
10/21 73.1 kg or 161.1 lbs (no change). Yesterday was a pretty good day all over. Walked the 8km plus another 1.5km during lunch. I thought I'd go out for a walk this afternoon but it's pouring down, so I'll just work and maybe leave the office early for a longer walk back if the weather improves. Food is ok, I'm working long hours and running around quite a bit, but evenings are harder, the fridge is just there and being able to nibble is hard to resist!

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

Month/Day: Exercise / Comment
10/19: 206.4
Even though I am 1.6 lower than yesterday, my 10-day rolling average went up 0.1. That is because I just dropped a 205.6 off the front end of my rolling 10-day range. I need to sprinkle more low numbers in my 10-day mixes. I would like to break the 205 barrier this round. Out to lunch with an old friend today. Maybe I can remember to make a good choice or three.
10/20: 206.2
Happy hump day everyone!
10/21: 204.8
This is goofy. But I will take it and run.
Looking forward to the day when this is on the upper end of my range, but considering the season, I will be happy to revolve around this reading for the next couple months. So many celebrations ahead! Because the way I was raised plus what was spliced into my DNA somehow, celebration means food. I need to work on that don’t I?

Day/Weight/Comment
10/19: 224.7 - Down is down right? I've been feeling like my loss has been slowing down, and it has, but I'm still on about a 12 lbs per month pace since the beginning. It's just that the past month has been about 10 lbs so it seems a lot slower. Anyway, my cardio is getting to be better than ever which is honestly all I wanted. 8 months ago I was on supplemental O2 24/7 after COVID pneumonia, so to now say my cardio is better than when I was a high school athlete really makes me appreciate the work I've put in. Long blurb but just a thought I had this morning.
10/20: 224.7 - Hey not up is good! I gotta stop hitting the snooze button in the morning. It takes away precious workout minutes. I want to workout at least 15-20 minutes longer than the 30 minute ride I do.
10/21: 224.0 - The scale I usually use said 222.2 but I don't trust a 2.5 lbs swing when the secondary scale says a .7 lbs swing. If it's that low tomorrow, I'll go with that. Didn't do 45-50 minutes on the bike as planned, but did 40 and my legs are dead. Stretching all day so I can go again tomorrow. I wanted to be under 224 by 10/25 4 days to get there!

10/19 – 209 lbs, 8,940 steps yesterday
10/20 – 209 lbs, 7,120 steps yesterday. Gained back the 15 or so pounds I lost earlier in the year. Currently have a very hectic work schedule that’s making it difficult for me to focus on diet and exercise. Lots of stress eating happening after work. Finally able to switch to an almost solely plant-based diet now because my partner’s health is in jeopardy with lots of plaque buildup in his arteries. He wasn’t into it before, but now he’s gone completely cold turkey on meat and cheese. I can’t do without cheese! We’ll see. Anyway, may not post much here but hoping the tracking will keep me focused and help me lose some of this. Not feeling good these days. Aches and pains and always exhausted.

I ate a bit too much yesterday, but all healthy food, so I won’t cry about it.
10/21 - 179.8
Back on track, weight and average merged again. It’s a beautiful fall morning, so I’m off for a long walk with the pup.

10/19 - 218 (-.6) I changed my starting weight to what I weighed when I started this journey, a month before I started logging everything on MFP and, I decided to reduce my goal weight to one more in line with exactly where I’d love to be . When I first started, I didn’t really believe I could do this. I’m starting to believe and am almost halfway there.
10/20 - 218.4 (-.2) Yesterday I swam 1350 yards. It took a bit longer than my usual hour workout, but I felt good so I kept going. My longest swim yet. Today is no organized exercise, just a busy day. I need to get back into my art studio and get painting. Hopefully I’ll have some time tonight.
10/21 - 217.6 (-1.0) A good day yesterday staying within calories goals. I didn’t drink enough water, so I need to do better. Hoping to swim today if I can fit it in between scheduled meetings.
