Starting weight: 205.5 lbs
Goal weight: 140 lbs
Current weight: 197.5 lbs (15/01)
Total weight lost: 8 lbs (15/01)
I started the 52 lbs in 52 weeks challenge 5th January and it's been going great so far 😊 but I can already feel my resolve slipping and having got to goal weight before I had my kids I know how important these first few weeks are! So I think I need the daily accountability to keep me on track right now.
Round #1 SW 197.7 lbs
17/01 197.4 lbs
I allow myself a cheat meal at the weekend and I had a muffin yesterday so wasn't expecting a massive difference. I'm only aiming for 1 lb a week so very happy with this start!
18/01 197.0 lbs
I'm surprised at this. Yesterday was a Covid-19 isolation nightmare! We're all ill, kids obviously couldn't go to nursery and a small glass of red wine and cookie was my answer 😂 ToM also started today... maybe the stress burned the extra calories 🤔 Thankfully our PCRs came back negative this morning so feel like I can get back on track!
19/01 196.0 lbs
Yesterday was less stressful and the kids are back at nursery today but I'm still feeling pretty rough. Managed to stay under my daily calorie goal but with it being the ToM I was worried about water weight so was happily surprised to see a big daily loss. Going to work hard today to maintain it 💪but am trying to psychologically prepare myself for when the losses slow/stall so I don't give up!
20/01 196.6 lbs
I've had a slight gain but totally accept this is normal when you're weighing daily and my overall trend is a loss so not freaking out - yet 😄 I stayed within my calories so will trust the process!
21/01 196.6 lbs
I've stuck to my calorie goal so hoping for a drop soon 🤞 although I'm still on track for my weekly loss so maybe I need to reframe and be happy with a maintain 🤔
22/01 196.6 lbs
Are my scales broken??? I've stuck to my calories 🤷🏼♀️
23/01 196.8 lbs
What is going on? I stuck to my calories and I was pretty active yesterday (over 15,000 steps). Was one small glass of wine 🍷 enough to cause water retention 🤔
24/01 196.0 lbs
Phew!!! Was starting to worry there as I'm staying within my calories. I guess weighing daily is going to really show my water fluctuations.
25/01 195.8 lbs
So relieved to see another loss. That's 9 days I've stuck to my calories 😊
26/01 196.2 lbs
Not gonna lie, a bit disappointed but since I stuck to my calories I know it's water weight...

Day/Weight/Comment
01/17 - 148 - This has to be due to some extra salt this weekend. In the meantime, I should get some exercise in today while helping my husband shovel the 13 to 14 inches of snow that fell on our driveway last night. I feel fortunate that I can call out of work today, in my younger years I would have powered through the snow with my rear wheel drive, manual transmission Chevy Chevette.
01/18 - 148 - Back to the office today. Tax season starts this week, so that means long hours, weekend work, and company bought lunches. I'll do my best to stay on track.
01/19 - 146.5 - I expect a little bounce tomorrow, but it's good to see I'm trending in the right direction.
01/20 - 146.5 - I've been really good about tracking my food. I need to keep it up and maybe I can get down to 146.
01/21 - 147 - I'm a little disappointed about the bump up considering I've been keeping on plan. However, my weight last Friday was 149.5, so I'm still doing OK.
01/22 - 147 - We had pizza last night so I pulled out my food scale to make sure I had an accurate amount for my food diary. Brrr, it's cold outside. It was -2F right before I left for work today. I hope everyone else is keeping warm.
01/23 - 146 - I had a catered lunch at work yesterday and then I came home to sausage corn chowder and beer bread my husband had made. I expect a bump in the scale tomorrow, but I didn't go too far over my maintenance calories and I'm back on track today.
01/24 - 146 - Work from home today due to a power outage in my office building. I need to treat today like a workday eating day, instead of a weekend splurge day.
01/25 - 145.5 - I behaved pretty well at home yesterday. Now if I can just hold on until tomorrow, I'll be happy.
01/26 - 146 - I hit my goal for this round even with the little bump. See you next round.

@quiltingjaine - I hope your daughter gets well soon. My stepdaughter in Florida just tested positive on Monday. She caught it from her husband who has bounced back pretty quick.3

YOU CAN’T WALK YOUR WAY OUT OF A BAD DIET. Last year I walked over 500 miles and still gained weight.
Losing weight will help me -
…feel healthy and strong again.
…fit comfortably into my work clothes.
…slide on a pair of jeans.
…hike in the spring.
…look good for my daughter’s high school graduation.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/17 - 203.3 - Maybe this is the round to go below 200? I don't know. We're close to tax season so my losses are going to slow down even more but I won't give up. I will do 30 minutes of cardio and some strength every day. My wife says I don't have anything left to lose so that's good at least lol.
01/18 - 202.8 - This morning I woke up early, did a stretch, 30 minutes of strength and 40 minutes on the bike. I feel like at this point I have to believe my diet is what's holding me back from 200 so I have to reassess that I guess. It's sure not lack of exercise... I've been snacking more than I should at night and not keeping track of calories so have to tighten that up.
01/19 - 202.2 - Woke up even earlier today to get more done but still have time to spend with my pups before I had to leave for work. Definitely ate light yesterday and worked hard yesterday and this morning so theoretically I'm doing the right thing.
01/20 - 201.5 - I think the shake-up of my workouts are really helping this number come down. My body got used to just doing bike rides every day and now I'm doing more and it seems to be working. This morning I did a 10 minute core workout and then my first 45 minute "bike bootcamp" and man that was hard. Starting to really love exercise!
01/21 - 201.2 - Happy to see another day down in weight. I know Monday will probably be an uptick because it's my last 2 day weekend until April so I am going to enjoy it. I'm also going to workout hard because I have the time. Planning on at least an hour of rides tomorrow and then some strength classes. Food was pretty good yesterday minus the one donut I had but that's life sometimes you treat yourself.
01/22 - 201.6
01/23 - 205.9
01/24 - 203.3 - I'm going to say that yesterday's weigh in was an outlier. However today's is real and I just have to stop drinking on weekends. Just destroying all progress I make and for what? To be sick the next day? I did all of my weight loss without a drink and now I drink and just feel awful about everything. Skipped working out yesterday because I had a headache. Slept horribly. I just need to go sober AT LEAST until I reach my goal.
01/25 - 200.6 - No explanation at all for this. 2 outlier days and then a drop? I did go through a lot of water yesterday. Hey I'll take it!
01/26 - 199.7 - More water flushing yesterday and a hard, hard, very hard workout this morning before weigh-in. I'm not going to say I'm below 200 yet until I'm comfortably below 200 because I've been here before and shot back up. Been eating a lot better and I always avoid alcohol during the week. Hopefully breaking through an almost 2 month plateau! On to the next round...12 -

I let the weekend run away with me (berry cobbler!), but am back on track. All good!
1/18 - 178.2, 178.6
Yesterday was a good day despite the sleet. Now to rinse and repeat!
1/19 - 177.8, 178.4
Okay, now to keep moving this direction! Feels tortoise slow, but we know who won the race, right? 😁
1/20 - 177.8, 178.2
Another good day. I really wanted a snack while watching a movie, but I refrained. Yay me!
1/21 - 177.6, 178
What’s your favorite soup recipe? I’ve been making soups every Sunday since New Year, and am going to try to keep it up with a new soup each week. So far, I’ve made minestrone, mulligatawny, and cabbage soups. I’m looking for this Sunday’s fare as we “speak.” Just curious about other people’s favs!
1/22 - 178, 177.9
Well, that bump makes no sense—my calories have been below goal for 5 days. Weird. But my average is going down, so yay! Happy Saturday, all!
1/23 - 178.4, 178
Well, this makes no sense since my calories have been below goal for over a week. Salt? Maybe, but we don’t use much salt in our cooking. I did bake oatmeal chocolate chip cookies for DH yesterday and ate one, but that couldn’t do it. Oh, well. Today is soup day—I’m making Moroccan harira soup with chickpeas, green lentils, lots of veggies & a variety of spices. Can’t wait to try it! Now off to play in the snow with the pup, and then I hope to get some writing done on this cold, snowy Sunday. Have a good one, all. Stay warm!
1/24 - 178.6, 178.1
I was feeling very disappointed yesterday, and ate a bit extra (cookies). Still down this morning because my weight is up, so I went to Happy Scale and looked back and realized I’m down 11.4 pounds since 6 months ago, which is nearly 2 pounds a months. Not so bad. Sometimes we need to step back and take the long view. 😁
1/25 - 178.2, 178.1
I confess, I consoled myself with food again yesterday, but didn’t go over maintenance calories. All good!
1/26 - 179, 178.4
Yep. I went nuts yesterday, partly because super cold weather always makes me hungry, partly out of frustration, partly because food tastes good! It’s fine. I have today planned, and started with a low-calorie, high protein breakfast, which always helps me stay on track. Attitude adjustment!Goal for 2022 & Progress

Hi, I'm Jen!
Female, 5'9"
Highest weight: 08.18.2021 235 lbs
Round 172 SW: 12.17.2021 200.2 lbs
Round 172 EW: 12.27.2021 197.4 lbs (-2.8)
Round 173 EW: 01.06.2022 193.8 lbs (-3.6)
Round 174 EW: 01.16.2022 190.2 lbs (-3.6)
Round 175 GW: 01.26.2022 188 lbs (-2.2)
01/17: 191.2 lbs (+1.0)
Goal this round is to kiss the 190's goodbye and get closer to the weight my drivers license thinks I am!
Have a pinched nerve in my hip so took a rest day yesterday. Missed the gym but got out for a walk.
01/18: 191.0 lbs (-0.2)
Changed my goal for the round from 1.2 to 2.2 pounds. Think it's totally reasonable once I get past this little bump up.
01/19: 190.4 lbs (-0.6)
Getting closer to 180s! Felt more in control this week. I upped my calories 100-200 a day so was worried that loss might slow down, but so far so good. Still trying to figure it out.
01/20: 190 lbs (-0.4)
Finally under my round starting weight! My strength training class was canceled last night so went to the gym and did my own workout. Not as much fun, but I'm proud of myself for not using the canceled class as an excuse to sit on my butt and watch TV.
01/21: 191 lbs (+1.0)
Can't explain this one. Thought I was heading down again. It will come. Just disappointing.
01/22: 191.6 lbs (+0.6)
I don't understand what's going on.
01/23: 190.6 lbs (-1.0)
Guess I'm just going to bounce around a lot before I hit the 180s. Same thing happened before onderland so maybe I'm psyching myself out!
01/24: 190.6 lbs (0.0)
Well. Unless something drastic happens in 2 days, I won't make my goal this round. At this point I'd take staying even!
01/25: 190.2 lbs (-0.4)
Good workout yesterday, under calories and over 2L of water. Hopefully a whoosh soon.
01/26: 190.6 lbs (+0.4)
Well, that's disappointing. Need to change something up, just not sure what yet.

Day/Weight/Comment
1/17 259.8 Happy to be in the group! This weekend was tough. I always seem to struggle with getting my water in on weekends. Below on calories every day though, including today. I guess we’ll see what tomorrow morning shows us.
1/18 259.2 Back to work today. Post-COVID I am working completely remotely, which doesn’t help my already sedentary self. Meals are planned. I’m going to try taking a lunch break and doing a workout. I think it will be helpful for my physical and mental health.
1/19 259.0 I did 15 minutes on the elliptical yesterday. Better than nothing, right? Meals for today are planned and I have a bodyweight workout on tap for lunch.
1/20 259.2 Bleh. Ended up running through the grocery store at lunch instead of working out, in preparation for a possible winter storm. Possibly could have counted…but I’ll be back on the elliptical this evening. Meals are planned, drinking water.
1/21 258.6 Feels good to see the scale tick down a bit. Got on the elliptical yesterday and my knee was hurting so stopped after a few minutes. I did something to my knee a couple of months ago and it still bothers me a fair amount. Time for a doctor’s visit, I guess. However, it doesn’t bother me to walk, so walk I shall! My son heads back to college tomorrow so we’ll have his favorite pot roast tonight. All meals planned and hoping for some snow this afternoon/tonight.
1/22 257.8
1/23 258.2
1/24 257.8 Hooray! Sorry for the lack of updates over the weekend – lots going on. I did weigh and log every day, just didn’t post. Kept up my water and got some steps in. Meals for today are planned and logged.
1/25 256.8 Well I don’t know how that happened but I’m not questioning it. 😊I did do really well yesterday and got in a higher than usual number of steps. Plus I made a doctor’s appointment to have my knee looked at in hopes of getting back on the elliptical soon. Meals are planned and logged for today.
1/26 257.0 Woke up in a bit of a funk this morning but I’m not sure why. I refuse to let it get in my way, though. Happy to be down at the end of the round. This daily accountability is good for me and I’ll be back tomorrow for Round 176!

1/17- 199.0 (-1.0) A new low today. Weight loss has slowed a bit, but averaging 1.2 pounds a week (per Happy Scale) I’m glad I log my weight everyday, otherwise I’d think I was plateauing. Orange Theory Fitness was good yesterday. I’m so much stronger. It surprises me every time. I usually go once a week and then swim 2x and hike. I may add one more OTF workout in each week. That might get me losing a little more. No organized exercise today, but I have a busy day so It’s easier to stay on plan.
1/18- 199.2 (-.8) I wore a pair of 16W Levi jeans yesterday after they sat in my closet for almost ten years. I had to remove the tags finally. They were my “someday” jeans. They are a little snug in the waist so I have a little muffin top, but not so tight that I was afraid the button would pop off and injure someone. It felt so good!! Today is swimming and painting in my studio. Hoping for a downward move on the scale tomorrow. In the 190’s for two days in a row is fabulous!! Now just to get all my water in…
1/19- 198.4 (-1.6) Swimming has been my primary go to exercise and from one of my earliest swimming outings in late July where I swam 22 laps in 57 minutes, yesterday I swam 72 laps in 69 minutes. (72 laps is 1800 yards or just over a mile!) In 2022, I’m hoping to improve my speed to 72 laps in 60 minutes or less. Today I’m focused on painting with no organized exercise planned.
1/20- 198.8 (-1.2) I got a lot done yesterday. I love days when things just flow. Today, I’m back to the pool and visiting a friend at her art studio. Making progress on the painting front.
1/21- 197.4 (-2.6) Nice!! Swimming was great yesterday. I have breakfast with a friend this morning and will probably have my indulgence meal for dinner tonight. I’m expecting a bump tomorrow before it falls back off. I’m so excited that every day of this challenge so far has been under 200 pounds. I’m getting there!!
1/22- 198.4 (-1.6) Yesterday was my indulgence meal, so this isn’t unexpected. Today I’m back on track. No organized exercise, but plenty of water.
1/23- 197.6 (-2.4) My sister and I planned to hike today and we took the dogs. There was just a bit too much snow and their feet were getting cold so we ended up leaving and finding another location where there were cleared sidewalks. So, we didn’t burn as many calories, but it was nice to get out. I think I need to buy dog booties for the next time. Really watching what I’m eating today and drinking all my water hoping for a new low weight in the next few days.
1/24- 197.0 (-3.0) My new low! I’m feeling a little more confident that I might have left the 200’s forever. No organized exercise today, so I’ll stay on plan and drink all my water.
1/25- 196.2 (-3.8) Wow. All that time bouncing back and forth the last round was frustrating. Doing my best to stick with it is finally paying off. My plan today is to swim if the snow doesn’t get too bad and to drink all my water, which seem to be a constant challenge.
1/26- 196.0 (4.0) I didn’t swim yesterday so it’s on the schedule for today. It was nice to just stay home in my jammies, binge watch a little tv and paint in my studio. This has been a good round. I can’t wait to see what next round brings.13 -

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!
1/25- 188.4 Another surprising drop! I thought surely the monthly hormonal shift would’ve kicked in by now, but I’ll take it!
66 net carbs and step goal achieved.
1/26- 187.8 Woohoo! Pretty darn happy with this today! Got my steps in, Pelo ride done, and finished the day with 63 net carbs. I’m happy with my progress this round!

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.
People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for over 4.5 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

1/17 119.5 Great Greek salad and 4 oz gyro meat. NO PITA My daily TC were 8g - all from the salad (3 from the meat)
1/18 118.5 Finished Greek salad TC 15, slightly under in protein and over on fat
1/19 118.5 TC 19 (13 from slaw, 4 from broccoli) DH took home COVID test supplied by neighbor who inadvertently exposed us as he has a doctor’s appointment this afternoon. It is negative.
1/20 117.5 TC 12g (6 from 3 pc Lindt 95% cocoa dark chocolate) I seem to not be hungry the last few days. Not fasting intentionally but definitely longer periods of not eating. Went grocery shopping-so many empty shelves and bins! I’ve been averaging just over 2200 steps a day for a couple of weeks but yesterday had 3 times that. Maybe I need to walk a circuit at Walmart every day!
1/21 118.0 TC 21g (half from spaghetti squash!) Veggie carbs can get me!
1/22 118.0 TC ?? Golden Corral last night and girls day today with my sewing friends may cause bump up tomorrow
1/23 119.0 TC ?? All snacks were keto (except 2 handsful of popcorn) and my daughter brought a bottle of Fitvine lower carb wine. It was very good. And I ate 1/4 of a Granny Smith apple with Smucker’s natural peanut butter in the evening. Hoping to keep things moving.😉😉😉
1/24 119.0 TC 1 (from cream) had a successful fasting day. Will break fast this (Monday) afternoon. It’s going to be a long day as I have been awake since 4:15AM.
1/25 117.0 TC 16 Yesterday had message from older daughter (nurse in small hospital) that she has tested positive for COVID again. She had it about 15 months ago. I fasted for over 40 hours and plan to do it again later this week.
1/26 117.0 TC 20 Made some keto cookies, ate 2 they had 4C total which I included. Need to add the recipe to the database. Discovered my Garmin on the table when I ate dinner! It had counted 136 steps for the day. OOPS! Busy day today - 2 sessions of quilt guild meeting and I will be at both, going to dinner between with the ladies who have to work.9 -
Hi, I’m Karen and am in my 50’s.
OSW-187 Sept. 2018
GW-149
1/17-167-Got a 4 mile walk in, finished quilting a quilt, just need to get the binding on it.
1/18-169-Walked 5 miles, exercised the horse (he and i are both on a roll). Made a creamy pesto sauce for the chicken breast I baked last night. Roasted cauliflower, broccoli and some sliced purple onion.
1/19-167-No walk, but did ride the horse. Had chicken stew and polenta; the stew already had rosemary in it, so I added some to the polenta and it was good.
1/20-167-Leftovers from last night, so dinner was heavy. The only exercise was riding the horse bareback, which helps core strength. I’ve been watching videos on brain health by Dr. Daniel Amen and he uses a natural approach and it is refreshing
1/21-168-Healthy dinner, but had cheese, then popcorn for a snack in the afternoon. Lots of errands today.
1/22-167-Super windy here, no horse and no exercise. Today will be much better.
1/23-DNW-Spent the day stretching, woke up stiff from the 50 lb. dog tripping me the night before. I feel really good now though! I’ve got a quilt 3/4 done and the sun is out. Last Monday, I started seeds in foil loaf pans that I will transplant from, and a bunch of them are already coming up!!
1/24-169-Cooked fish, just a bit salty.
1/25-166-Ate pretty good and had a long horse ride.
1/26-DNW-Walked 3 miles, the bee hives are getting put out all over the place here and the trees are not blooming yet; the bees are hungry and bored. Makes walking rough. Short horse ride.8 -
Hello! I'm back after skipping the last round. I struggled getting my head back in the game following the holidays and thought stepping back from recording it all would help. I did get back to fully logging and weighing foods and I always weigh myself everyday (no deniability, lol!). I have lost all my additional holiday weight and a touch more and moving closer to my goals. I have read all of last round's posts and you all are doing so well; you've inspired me to get back on track! Also, @coblujay thank you for you motivating comments two rounds ago.
Goal this Round: 137.0 lbs
Vacation goal, end of Feb: 135.0, also original UGW, also weight on my driver's license (a lie, for so many years!)
I have had the realization that my UGW needs to move downward to 130 lbs (possibly another 5 lbs, but I am choosing to ignore that for now). This adjustment in UGW is even with 5-6 days/week of weight lifting for close to a year and cardio since last spring. I have been losing inches (not many, I haven't lost that much weight), but 2-3 more pounds of loss to my original UGW is certainly not going to flatten this stomach, lol! My two kids are around 30 years old; I believe my excuse for the mommy pooch is fading fairly quickly.

Day/Weight/Comment
1/17 137.9.
1/18 137.9. Went skiing today. I'm a beginner and I accidentally took a blue slope (there were several turnoffs from my desired, green path). (Green = beginners, blue = intermediate, black diamond = advanced, double black diamond = expert, at least in the U.S. The colors relate to the steepness of the slope). I was pretty much scared out of my mind! It was way too steep for this scaredy-cat! Fortunately, the green slope criss-crossed the blue slope I was on, so I was only on a blue slope for a bit (too long of a bit for me). I fell several times, the first time on my 'bad' hip (which oddly, has never bothered me while skiing). I had bursitis last year and am only 90% of the way healed, I think. Just when I think it is fully healed, it says hello! I still do my hip PT exercises every day. My hip is feeling fine, btw. I jumped into our hot tub when I got home, which is always helpful for sore muscles and whatnot. Keeping close to my calorie goal today; I probably will end up 100 over, still under maintenance. If I feel hungry on skiing days, I listen. I've never looked up the calorie burn, but I figure it is pretty high.
1/19. 138.6. Well, I ended yesterday a good 250 calories over my budget (not 100 as previously thought). Still under maintenance. I also looked up mfp's calorie burn for skiing. Wow! Even if I cut that in half, it is a lot of calories. For the first time the day after skiing, I am sore. Just a typical soreness, though. I did take ibuprofen in the middle of the night, though. It's all good. However, I did not do my usual exercises this day, but I will do my stretching and hip PT ones later. Hope everyone has a great day!
1/20 139.4
1/21 139.4. Didn't record my weight here yesterday; I've input two days worth. Going skiing again today with my daughter. Although she hasn't skied for a few years, she used to ski black diamonds. If she does, I certainly won't be with her! I MAY consider going down a blue slope with her, but only if I tackle some more green ones well (I'm not feeling it).
1/22. 137.9. @jaccimc63 Sausage Corn Chowder soup sounds great! I Googled up a recipe and will make it in the next day or two. Skiing was great yesterday and my daughter gave me a lot of helpful tips. Although I didn't go down any blue runs, I did go on a lot of other green ones. It's a beautiful day here in Colorado, sunny and with a fresh layer of snow. I grew up in an area that got just as much snow, but for the most part, the sky was gray during the winter, always keeping the snow around. The sun is out most days in CO and it burns off the snow pretty quickly.
1/23 139.9
1/24 141.0

Day/Weight/Comment
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.
1/25: 145.5 - Normal workouts and ate well. Sleep was a little wonky as I forgot to take my watch off to charge and it woke me up early to say “low battery”. Electronic battery disrupting human battery charging!
1/26: 145.6 - Same routine as yesterday, although I didn’t get woken up early. Had a few nibbles of crackers I was making to taste for doneness, but didn’t binge.
Total round weight loss/gain to date from EO last round: - 1.3 pounds10 -
Round # 42 for me!
SW: 375.2 (5100 steps daily step goal, go to bed by 11:30, no eating out or junk food 6 days a week)
Day/Weight/Comment (previous day steps)
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.
1/25 373.8 – 4102 steps.
1/26 373.8 – 4233 steps. Well, I have a loss this round and I will take it! I didn’t lose 3 lbs. but I am on track with 6.2 pounds lost this year so far which is 3-pound average per 10 days and that is what I am shooting for. On to round 3 for this year. I must get back to keeping my daily goals which I have slacked up on because of listening to the Australian Open (tennis) on the Radio. Last night no radio, went to bed early and today I am going to get my 5100 steps in. I have continued to not eat out and almost at the end of January! On to the next roundTotal lost this round: (-1.4 lbs.)
*One of my major goals is to get my BMI under 40 (260 weight) so I can have surgery on my knees*

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. 10 -

Round 173 #1 (SW 253, FW 249)
Round 174 #2 (SW 249, FW 246.5*)
Round 175
1/17 246.5 I was extra surprised by the number on the scale this morning. Hopefully, my Saturday of sinful calories won’t catch up with me tomorrow. 😂 Back in school with masks today, and 8 of the 15 rooms in my building are on modified quarantine status, I’m just waiting for my turn. I’m grateful parents and students didn’t put up a fight about wearing masks.
1/18 248.5 There’s my weekend weight! Staying on track with calories today should help me get back down.
1/19 247 There it is again, 247, my body seems to want to hold on to this one. 🙃 I hit my protein and fiber goals while staying under calories today, so maybe tomorrow is the day I kiss it good buy forever!
1/20 245.5 A new low! I planned my calories today because I’m only human and it's half-priced Sonic Corn Dogs Day. I stayed under calories, but I was also under on protein and fiber.
1/21 245.5 holding steady, but went over on calories a bit. I was so hungry all day even with 150 grams of protein, so I indulged in some pudding for desserts and I’ll take the extra calories.
1/22 - 244.5 Hey! 2 pounds down! I’ve been noticing that my 5-week prediction hasn’t been dropping as much as it used to, and I know I’ll need to be making some more changes soon. So I started researching gym options in my area. I know I need to lower my calorie goal, but I’d rather start working off some more than trying to consume less. Eventually, I’ll have to do both, but one step at a time!🙂
1/23 243 This is encouraging since I’ve really struggled the past couple of days with wanting to stress eat, teaching seems to be the only plate I have that’s full and still being piled upon… sigh. I went ahead and lowered my daily calorie goal to 1,900 so I’m hoping to keep seeing the scale drop. Have a great week everyone!
1/24 243 Today was a busy and stressful Monday, so much so that when was packing up to leave school at 6:09 I realized I only drank half of my breakfast smoothie. So I enjoyed some gelato after dinner instead. 😆 I’m guessing the extra sugar late tonight will have an effect tomorrow. Other than that, I was under calories, but just barley missed my protein and fiber goals.
1/25 244 No surprise here, but I’m also worried for another jump tomorrow. We have over 6” of snow (practically unheard of in SWKS) so I celebrated our snow day tomorrow with a extra chicken fajita. With all the changes I’ve made in the last 7 months, I still turn to food for my feelings. Does anyone have a suggestion to overcome this, a book maybe, for some help/guidance?
1/26 244 Plenty to be happy about today! No extra weight on the scale from my fajita, No school due to 8”(!!) of snow, lots of cleaning and kitty snuggles are getting done. It’s a great way to end this challenge, down 2.5 pounds! See you in 176!
No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. -Aesop9 -
Short term goal: Stick with it for 60 days (15/60).

When working out today, I realized that I calculated my change in weight for the Round from the wrong initial weight. I actually lost 0.4 lbs, not gained 0.2 lbs. Bottom line, I’m still 3.1 lbs away from my vacation goal of 135 lbs (end of Feb). This was my UGW, but I’m thinking I’ll be moving that downward (a mildly defeating thing to do).4

Day/Weight/Comment
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.
1/25 207.6 workout #25. Well at least it didn’t go up anymore. Husband sees the oncologist today for a follow up appointment.
1/26 207.4 did workout #26. Lower but really wouldn’t call it a loss. This was a tough round for me.9 -
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
1/24 work 2/2, now 3 days off. Yummy roasted eggplant tomato soup with seitan for dinner. Protein: 119
1/25 Ate out for lunch today but it was at Flower Child which is relatively healthy and I was able to pick something with similar calories and macros as what I had planned. Last spring I dug out several new flower beds which was super hard work.. I scheduled an appointment with a landscaping company to give me a quote on doing a couple new ones. Now that I know the labor that goes into it I might be ready to pay up. Got good workouts in this afternoon and felt really good on squats. I got 185x8 which is a decent squat for me. Sweet potato, kale, egg scramble for dinner. Protein: 125

Did a lunge, push-up, thruster workout and then a farmer’s carry, KB swing, weighted sit-up workout this morning. Planned meals for the next few days and shopped. Push day for strength. Bell pepper, spinach, feta egg casserole for dinner. Protein: 135

Goal for this round: Maintain weight while continuing to focus on strength training and running
Previous days1/26 121.4 pre-workout 120.6 or 4 post run. Completed a 7 mile run this morning and felt really good afterwards. Yoga was also super fun last night, it was so different than any other yoga class I’ve tried before but in a really good way. It was very active and on our own during some of the flows. It was just very interesting and challenging mentally at times to remember what you’re actually supposed to be doing in a certain sequence. It was a busy work day but food has been good and dinner is all planned out too and simmering in the pressure cooker right now. Have a good night!
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 😊.
1/24 121.6 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.
1/25 Did not weigh this morning. Had my DXA scan today and the results were interesting to see. The percentages were healthy but I definitely want to build more muscle/get leaner. I know I can do it because I was there before and annoyingly let the weight creep up. My birthday and the holidays really got me this year. Any ways, I have to go check on my chicken in the pressure cooker and get ready for yoga tonight. I did some strength work this morning and got another quick swim in.
On the Brightside I technically lost a pound this round, so I’ll take it as a win.

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.
