☃️❄️🌟 JANUARY 🌟❄️☃️
☃️❄️🌟❄️☃️❄️🌟❄️☃️

😎I'm hovering BELOW 140 (down 87lbs) 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼
• In Maintenance since July 2019
• Smart BMI - optimal weight.
• Muscle/Fat %ages in normal range

Just because Covid restrictions aren’t compulsory doesn’t mean they’re not necessarily.
People are still dying out there……… and the numbers are on the rise again.
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷

January focus:
maintain weight < 145 (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
I’m back to pre-Christmas weight! 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼

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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Good news or bad news for you all, I am back.

Quick post now and I plan to follow up with a detailed post later in the day. I've got to get organized and put it together. But I wanted to get committed before the day got on. Will catch up later!

1/27 - 146 - I've kept up with my food diary and steps. This frigid weather really tests my strength to resist comfort food. I bought some diet hot chocolate (25 calories) to get me through my afternoon munchies at the office.

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.

I need to be back here with you all after a 5-week hiatus. I had my scale with me, which only confirmed my need for a disciplined approach.

I am afraid I have not kept up with reading your posts over the past weeks, so I am hoping all is well with my old friends. I was made aware of the fragility of life when my 61-year-old neighbor / good friend passed away while I was away. Complications from Covid seems to be the reason.

And hello to those of you who have joined since mid-December.

Ok, back at the tracking after a long lazy break from reality. Well, not a total break. I kept one oar in the water at all times regarding work. But you will never convince me that remote working is more efficient than in-person presence at the office. (Take it with a grain of salt because I am the same guy who said computer aided design will never replace hand drafting. Ha!)

Anyway… I have some work to do on this body of mine. I have my annual holiday-damage-control to do. JGMTD176

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.

01/27 - 198.4 - Stayed below 200 this morning but the real test will be if I can maintain this through the weekend. Ate pretty well yesterday and definitely at a deficit considering all the working out I did. This morning woke up and did essentially an hour of leg workouts so I fully expect to not be able to move tomorrow lol.

I was really craving something sweet last night, but I resisted. I did have some air-popped popcorn. I’m trying to stop the night munching this round. I never used to do this—not sure how I got into this habit. With the brutal cold I haven’t been getting much exercise, but we have two+ hours of doggy school tonight, so that will get me moving a bit. Stay warm, all!

1/27- 198.0 (+2.0) I had my indulgence meal last night and loved every bite. I’m back on track today planning to finish this ten days strong. Swimming was good yesterday. No organized exercise today, just happily painting away. I put on some of my favorite old comfortable sweatpants last night to wear to bed and they are falling off.

Day, Weight, Comment
1/27 - 145.8 - I'm back. Kind of. I'll try to make summary quick (still long, lots to catch up on): 1) Mammogram and ultrasound confirmed doc's suspicions that the lump is just dense tissue. Whew. No higher risk than any other 30 year old. Resume annual mammograms at age 40 unless something else presents. HUGE weight off my shoulders 2) Mom discharged from hospital after a week last night. Still not 100% but no surgery. On antibiotics still, but her body was able to heal naturally so hoping the trend continues from home. Providing her with plenty of research to help avoid another issue like this (plus it's hereditary, like so much else, so I'm taking precautionary steps to avoid as I've also already had a perforated intestine, just not nearly as bad as hers) 3) House is still moving. We were able to get a contractor out to submit a quote. With that quote, we negotiated higher closing cost on their end to "pay" for the repairs. The inspector is amending report for VA to state the repairs are pending and should be good. He was informed late yesterday so hopefully by tomorrow that'll be complete. Water test is still pending, but our Agent said it could take up to a week (samples submitted Monday) 4) BF's oldest son is having problems with his mom and she's now fearful of what comes next so tomorrow he flies down to live with us. This is at least the rest of the school year and through summer break. Will reassess closer to next school year whether he goes back to his mom's with his brother and sister at end of summer. He's never acted out here so I have all the faith he will be much better here and can relax into a happy life again. 5) I'm off track quite a bit. Just trying to maintain at this point, though I'm happy to see the scale has dropped in the last couple days. Been successful at not stress snacking too much (just a quick snack of almonds or peanut butter when I'm feeling hungry. Just enough to hold me over until my next meal.) Hopefully with the lessening of stress, my fatigue will fade enough that I can push through a bodyweight workout. They aren't horribly exhausting, but I've been struggling to do no physical activity and not feel like I could fall asleep standing up. Today is better already so thinking tomorrow I will schedule a workout, even if it's just a soothing yoga and not my normal bodyweight strength workout. One thing that has been a success? Through this group, I've learned to listen to my body and not overwhelm it for the sake of "progress". Sometimes progress is taking a step back to allow things to calm down before picking back up. So thank you all for teaching me it's okay to not be perfect. I'm in a much better place now than I would be if I hadn't learned that lesson and went through this.

2nd round! Rebooting my lifestyle after several false starts. I need accountability to make sure it gets done.

Return to MFP SW (Dec 2021): 267

CW: 256.6
UGW for now: 200, then reevaluate

Goal for this round: less than I started with
2022 goals: move more (okay, move some), eat mindfully

Day/Weight/Comment
1/27 256.6 Fully expected to be up today after taking the easy way out for dinner last night and having (carefully considered, but still) fast food. Got more than my usual steps in, and plenty of water, which may have helped? I read a thread on MFP about NEAT and so I’ve also been mindfully increasing steps/effort/movement in just my usual routine. I definitely see an uptick in my steps so it’s doing some good.

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.

Yesterday we celebrated our youngest DGS 2nd birthday; 18 months ago we didn't know whether we would see this day. He was born with a genetic condition causing a very seriously diseased liver, at the tender age of 6 months he was given new life by the generosity of a family who had lost their loved one and agreed to donate her liver. We shall be eternally grateful to her, her family, the organ donation scheme and the amazing NHS. I would like to take the opportunity of asking you all whether you have thought about donating your organs after you are gone and whether you have had the conversations about it with your loved ones; we never thought it could happen in our family, but you never know. A part of her continues to live on in our little DGS, she has given him life; we shall never forget and we shall be eternally grateful.

I'm so happy to hear this! Happy birthday to that little guy and many thanks to his guardian angel. On the 22nd, our little guy marked 1 year with his new liver and we are blessed daily by the sacrifice of his guardian angel and their family. Fam has the contact information for them and is putting together a 1 year thank you for them so they can, hopefully, still feel connected to their angel. (They chose to allow direct contact, we are grateful to share a piece of their angel with them however we can)

Organ donors are honestly the best. Thankful every day to those who are selfless enough to allow others to live through their donation. Guardian angels live among us and we just may not yet know it.

Previous days

1/27 123 preworkout but didn’t weigh post workout. I’m thinking this is cycle related and water retention from a new strength workout Tuesday and a hard run yesterday morning. I rode the bike this morning at a leisurely pace for about an hour and plan to go to the gym this afternoon afterwork to do strength and to sit in the steam room afterwards. Food is all planned and looking forward to leftover carnitas for dinner tonight! Happy almost Friday everyone!

Never had a problem with this grain so I'll keep it in my diet. I also have been eating wheat bran flakes, but only until the box is empty. It is my irritant grain, but I'll use it to my advantage.

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.

In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.

In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs

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!"

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.

"I can do all things through Christ which strengthen me" Philippians 4:13

“KAREN YOU HAVE GOT THIS”

'Consistency is the ONLY key to achieving any desired result'
MY “WHY’s AND HOW’s CONSISTENT List”:

I want to be free from diabetes, heart failure, high blood pressure
I want to walk, hike, shop, explore
I want to prove ‘YES I CAN’

I will educate myself on nutrition, prioritize health over body image and/or weight loss.
I will hold myself accountable, not using any situation of person as a scapegoat
I will pay attention to what I eat, and keep a food log
I will stay physically active
I will keep realistic expectations
I will accept compliments and decide whether input from others will influence me
I will learn to recognize portion size, calories, and when I am full
I will say to myself, “Ok that’s it, I’m done!”
I will focus on the process of developing good habits, rather than a finite result
I will I do the best I can with the tools I have
I will say to myself, “KAREN YOU HAVE GOT THIS”
……..
My long term vision is to maintain my weight in the BMI ‘Normal Weight Range’ of 22.7
Why I want this goal is for managing my heart health and diabetes.
And to feel enticed to continue hiking and enjoying family and friends.

Positive actions and reasons:
1. daily logging of nutrition & water,
providing visual information to help me choose wisely
(my goals: 4 veggies, 2 fruit, 64oz water)

2. weekly movement,
providing lubricant to my joints to keep them mobile
(my goals: 90” of cardio, 60” of ST, flexibility of 40”)

3. daily thanks to God and self,
providing a relationship/direction with God and reassurance/strength for me
“Karen YOU HAVE GOT THIS”

💗 Karen
