1/17 - 183.0 played 2hrs of volleyball yesterday and I was fairly good with my food. I definitely got my protein in - which is main macro goal.
1/18 - 183.3 kinda bummed it went up, but I'll keep going.
1/19 - 182.1 yesterday I worked out (I do Linn Lowes plans) and added an additional 15 min on the treadmill at an incline while waiting for my partner to complete their workout.
1/20 - 182.0 stressful and long day of work yesterday, but still managed to get my workout in. Hoping to be a bit better food wise (I definitely stress snacked) today.
1/21 - 181.3 I was a little surprised for this drop, yesterday was a rest day at the gym. I'll take it though. I'm getting closer to getting below 180.
1/22 - 182.1
1/23 - 181.3 Forgot to post my weight yesterday, but hopped on the scale today and was pleasantly surprised that it came back down. Maybe my goal should just be 180 for this round. I've got volleyball and a few gym days ahead so maybe I can drop another pound.
1/24 - 183.1 yesterday was a hard day, we had to put down our family cat. He was almost 17 so we knew it was coming, it was hard to see him so frail and skinny and unable to eat, drink, and walk.

1/17: 145.9 - I didn’t expect this, but it feels good to have the scale moving down. Officially lost 25 pounds since starting this journey Sep 7, 2021. Did my normal workout plus a walk, and ate all the way back to my exercise calories. Good sleep.
1/18: 145.5 - Normal workout, but my eating was a little disjointed as we were out the whole afternoon. Stayed within calories.
1/19: 145.5 - Holding steady. Normal workout plus an extra walk. Good eating.
1/20: 145.9 - Last night had homemade pizza. Although within calories, I felt super full.
1/21: 146.2 - Headed in the wrong direction. Lots of cheeses and carbs the last few days.
1/22: 145.5 - Long neighborhood walk (5.72 mi) was the only exercise I got in. High carb, low protein eating. Still finding it hard to get enough protein throughout the day.
1/23: 145.5 - Holding steady again. 10K walk in the neighborhood and stayed within calories. Good sleep.
1/24: 145.1 - Back to my regular workout + walk yesterday and a little on the lower end of calories.

1/17 205.8 Well poo. Last week I was down and here we go first day of the new round and I’m up. My own fault, too much salt yesterday. Continuing to do my workouts, #17 done. Onward!!
1/18 207 Another bad day of not eating right. I’ve got to get my head back in the game. It felt great to be down lower now to get there again. I have kept on with the workout’s #18 today.
1/19 206.6 Better #19 done
1/20 206.8 Workout #20 today.
1/21 207.2 #21 I have got to stop this snacking. You can always tell by my numbers.😕
1/22 207.2 Workout #22. Snacking again yesterday. I love crackers and did a lot of emotional eating, we had an unexpected death in the family. Husbands cousin who was 60, possibly an aneurysm. Anyway it always makes you think about what you need to do to live better and longer. Husband and I discussed what “healthy” is and quality of life. 😢
1/23 207 workout #23. Need to drink lots of water today and move.
1/24 207.6 workout #24 Well this round has not been good for me.Back to my terrible snacking habits.

Sorry about your loss, I am sure he has had a good home with you - lots of years, that is a very good age for a cat, but I know pets are part of the family and leave a big hole. Sending hugs xx4 -
@lindsaysrat I'm so sorry to hear about your cat. It's so hard to say goodbye to our four-legged family members. My four cats send you purrs and biscuits.3

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.

Goal for this round: Maintain weight while continuing to focus on strength training and running
Previous days1/24 121.6 Hoping to see a drop in the next five days after this part of my cycle passes. I’m also starting a new macro configuration with my diet to see how this changes things. I plan to work my way back down to 115 over the next few months because I’m not the biggest fan of 120/121. My goal is to maintain my muscle mass though because I really like how my muscles are starting to pop in the upper body and parts of my lower body. I just don’t like the slow weight creep that’s been happening. So, as I lean out I know the muscles will start popping even more. The new plan is about 1900ish calories with 40% carbs (to help with the endurance/cardio work I do), 25% protein (120g about 1g per pound of body weight) and 35% fat. So, we shall see how this works, right now I’m burning about 500-900 calories depending on the day’s activities. Ran 5 miles this morning and swam 1,025 yards after work. I was going to do strength tonight, but my husband wanted to swim so we shared a lane instead and swam. I’ll do my strength tomorrow morning and then some sort of cardio afterward. I also signed up for a yoga class tomorrow night because I feel like a kid in a candy store with all these options at our new gym.
1/17 Did not post.
1/18 122.4 My goal for next round is to post every day! Ran 6.2 miles this morning. Last night my husband and I went to play racquet ball at the local court near us. It was so much fun! We also did some research and there’s a gym near us that offers unlimited use of their courts, so we are going to look into joining the gym instead of paying $35 an hour at the club we went to last night. The gym has squash courts, but we’ll just learn to play that instead. I’m very excited because the gym has a couple pools as well, so I might get back into swimming as a cross training activity for myself. I used to swim in high school and loved it. I wasn’t fast by any means but it’s such a good workout for a no impact exercise! Food has been good all day to day and have meatloaf prepped and ready to throw in the oven for tonight. We got Thai last night for dinner so I’m working with post strength training water retention along with Thai food water retention. I feel good regardless, so that’s what’s important, right?
1/19 122.0 I did a 50 minute spin bike ride this morning and did my strength workout on my lunch. Breakfast was toast with chai tea, lunch was cheese, crackers, crunchy chickpeas and some raisins, and dinner will be leftover meat loaf with some roasted potatoes. I have to pick up our CSA tonight before dinner, so it’ll be nice to have an easy dinner ready to go. I think we might try and play squash tonight before we pick up the CSA too. Happy Wednesday!
1/20 121.6 Playing squash was a success last night! It wasn’t pretty to see me play but it was fun and my husband didn’t lose his patience with me lol! So, it was a win win! I ran 6.4 miles this morning and the last three were fast/hard miles. My Garmin watch gave me 40 recovery hours before my next hard workout. So, I’ll do a leisurely spin bike ride tomorrow morning to give my body a break. Food was pretty good yesterday too. Today I had my usual toast for breakfast, lunch will be the last of the meat loaf and dinner will most likely be steak and veggies or something a little easier like chicken tenders if we end up playing squash again tonight.
1/21 Did not post.
1/22 Didn’t weigh this morning. I did a recovery ride yesterday on the spin bike and resting completely today. I’ve had a sugar bug the past couple of days with eating too many caramels (finally gone) and Lindt truffles (almost gone) that are around. Not sure why the spike in sugar cravings though, usually I can look right at them and not be phased. Food has been good today though.
1/23 Forgot to weigh this morning. My husband and I woke up super early and couldn’t fall back to sleep, so we decided to get up and go to the gym to swim some laps. Being in the pool again and swimming with intention felt so good after over a decade of not doing it. Afterward I used the sauna to get rid of some water retention that has been lingering and then we went home and had breakfast (2 eggs with homemade cinnamon raisin walnut toast). Then, we decided to go back to the gym for an 8:30 AM yoga class. The best part of the class was my husband at the end saying he hasn’t sweat like that in a long time and him admitting that yoga really is a workout. HAHA! The class was also lovely in general and I plan on taking it again. We also adventured to HMART after the class and we bought some ingredients to make beef lo mein for dinner tonight. It’s been a solid Sunday so far 😊.

It really is! The fennel gets super sweet and yummy with the butter and because there's so much butter in it, you don't need to add cream to the soup. If I recall correctly, there are only those three ingredients if you use salted butter or you could add salt to your liking. So simple, but oh so good.3 -

My goodness was that soup divine especially sopped up with a hearty bakery bread!
@playhardkf2017 It’s never too late to talk soup! That fennel-tomato sounds fabulous! I love fennel—will have to try it. Thanks!

1/17: 192.8 60net carbs but fell short on steps. I also spent time on my feet decorating cookies yesterday, which I’m sure contributed to the uptick. Come on 180s, stick already!
1/18: 191.2 Happy with this! 60 net carbs and step goal achieved. I’m determined to make the most of this week!
1/19: 190.0 Another drop, yes! 70 net carbs, step goal hit, and Pelo ride done. I can sew a new low just around the corner!
1/20: 189.8 Back to my lowest again. I was hoping today would see a new low, but at least it’s something. 66 net carbs, strength training, and steps done.
1/21: 188.8 Yay new low! Had a pretty good day yesterday. 50 net carbs, steps in, and Pelo ride done.
1/22: 190.0 Boo! I’m sure it was either spending so much time in the kitchen on my feet, hormones, or a combination of both.
1/23: 190.4 Again, spent more time than usual on my feet on the kitchen, but Im sure hormones are playing a part too. 61 net carbs.
1/24- 188.8 Quite shocked by this drop today! My calves were so swollen last night, I was sure that I wouldn’t be down any. 38 net carbs for the day and step goal achieved!

1/17 375.2 – 5151 steps. Great day. Enjoyed splurge. Back on it today. Glad I did not gain any more weight.
1/18 373.0 – 5768 steps. Got in a walk yesterday and ran errands with mask and shield on and enjoyed being out despite challenges. Dropped dinner off to my Dad at nursing home. I hope he enjoyed it and understands why we cannot come visit him at nursing home.
1/19 373.0 – 5672 steps. Good day and got in a short walk. Came under calories. I always thought with the WW points I was eating too much but I could never know because it was not calories. With MFP and actual calories and macros, I can figure out some things! I attribute that to why I am now losing consistently now. I am eating less and still not feeling deprived. The WW zero-point foods are very deceptive. I always knew it, but I just tried to make it work for me. It may work for some, but it does not work for a person with a binging problem.
1/20 373.0 – 6158 steps. Carb feast on skinny pop popcorn but still under calories. Good exercise also. Had a great salad. I love the salad kits They work for now.
1/21 372.0 – 5442 steps. Two good short walks inside and under calories. I am happy to be on the losing end at the end of each 10 days, but my goal is to lose 3 pounds each challenge while I am in the 300’s. I know as I get closer to 300 it will get tougher. The lowest weight I have been since I have been on this journey since 2004 is 301. For the 1st time in a long time, I can see myself getting under 300 if I don’t lose my focus.
1/22 372.0 – 4322 steps.
1/23 370.8 - 4036 steps. Reached 25 pound milestone!!!
1/24 373.8 – 3800 steps. Yikes! Can’t explain a 3 pound jump. Too much celebrating! A real possibility. We will see tomorrow. I did not drink a lot of water, low steps, no workout 2 days and high sodium. Hmmmm. Not worried. Moving forward. I did end up going over my calories with high calorie and high sodium item so I will just try to drink my water next 2 days and stay under calories and keep it moving. It happens and I am still in the blue & 370s.

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.8 -
I’m 5’7, 29 years old, female. I follow a lifting
program and would like to decrease my body fat while maintaining muscle mass.
My starting weight in Oct 2021 was 156.6
Goals: stay in a mild calorie deficit, hit 110-140 grams of protein per day, 20-30 minutes of cardio on lifting days (4xweek, non-work days), complete all 6 programmed strength training sessions during my 4 days off per week

Previous Posts1/17 Had a relatively lazy day. Planned meals for this week and made a grocery list. Did a deadlift, squat, pullup workout this morning and took a walk. I made a Korean soup (doenjang chigae) for dinner and it was really tasty but pretty sodium heavy. Reload week for strength, but the programming never feels that much easier than the normal weeks hah. I bet my legs are sore tomorrow after all of the split squatting I did tonight. I’ve been feeling pretty hungry, so I’ve relaxed my calorie goal a little and am eating back more exercise calories. Protein: 146
1/18 workouts ✅✅✅ super sore today. “Reload” weeks on the programming are always like that. tomato garbanzo beans stew with seitan for dinner. Protein: 144
1/19 still super sore. Did a weighted step up, shoulder press, bent over row workout this morning. Very cold and windy otherwise, so didn’t get out and walk. Strength was programmed as an active recovery day but included a lot of pull-ups and dips. Farro with sautéed mushrooms and spinach and a gochujang sauce. Back to work tomorrow. I got a call back about the surgery job and I’ll need to think about it. I would work Monday-Friday 5:30-2 + occasional on call. Protein a bit on the low side: 113
1/20 work 1/2. Not a bad day in Covid-land. I think I’m going to need to buy new scrubs in small cause my pants are about to fall off.. especially when I’m wearing the PAPR. Kimchi stew with tofu for dinner. Yummy! Protein: 121
1/21 work 2/2. Still had a bad headache today but otherwise feel fine. Idk if I should get a Covid test tomorrow just to be safe or not. Thai-ish soup with seitan for dinner. Protein: 126
1/22 did a snatch and box jump workout and then a push press, kb swing, push-up workout this morning. We cleaned up the vegetable garden since none of the hardy greens stood up against the deep freezes this winter. I forgot that I left some potatoes in the dirt and dug up a ton of those. Otherwise went grocery shopping (I hate running errands on the weekends. Too many people. It really makes me appreciate my work schedule) and made broccoli, pea, edamame fried rice with tempeh for dinner. Protein: 127
1/23 Picked up an extra shift for a big bonus. It was a good day.. I just regret missing a day of lifting. Depending on how the rest of the week goes I might try to make it up. Back to work tomorrow. My husband used the potatoes we dug up to make one of our favorite recipes. It’s like a gochujang potato rosti in a Dutch oven and you bake eggs into it. Extra delicious with fresh garden potatoes. Protein: 125
