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.

Previous posts: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

Yesterday was a day where I chose to eat the comfort food set before me. Pot roast at Rotary lunch, and cake.
On another note, I dislike winter very much. Going to try to get moving this weekend somehow.

1/27 / 179.8 / Fun to start with a taste of the new decade. Getting my walks in, riding the Peloton, and eating nourishing and delicious food. Happy the weekend is almost here!
1/28 / 180.4 / Busy work day, slightly shorter Peloton ride, dinner, and then a video call with my MIL for nearly three hours. Time to rest!
1/29 / 179.6 / Sun is shining so we're going to walk to the grocery store for a couple things for brunch. I have the dentist today, I want to do some core strength, and we're going to a movie tonight. Dinner and my popcorn already pre-tracked so my day can work around it.
1/30 / 180 / Fun day yesterday... one shorter walk and a long one where I ran into a friend. Hubby and I had a food court dinner and went to see A King's Man. Off to snowshoe in the mountains today.

All the wrong choices. I could have done so much better. I did drink a TON of water. Otherwise, bad, bad day. Sadly, I deserve this.
Whoa - ease up there! Beating yourself up or making a value judgement about yourself won't help anything. If you are being consistent, learning from your actions and the outcomes and keep trying, you are still improving! Have a little grace for yourself and please keep showing up.

Previous days1/27 123 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!1/30 121.6 pre workout. It’s been a good day so far. I had a good breakfast of toast with peanut butter and 50 g sliced banana and a protein shake. Lunch was a grilled cheese and 3 oz leftover sirloin steak and dinner will be jerk chicken thighs with half of a large sweet potato and sauteed cabbage. I went to the gym earlier today to do strength and then sat in the sauna for 30 minutes. The workout felt great and the sauna after was the cherry on top. It felt good getting some of that water retention out and now I’m replenishing with water so I don’t end up dehydrated. My plan is to do a spin class tomorrow and keep to 1800 calories a day this week. Lately I’ve been burning around 2,000-2,100 calories a day, so 1,800 calories would be about a 200-300 cal deficit. I think that’s tolerable without feeling like I’m starving or depleting myself of nutrients. When I reach 115, I’m going to reward myself with some new workout tops. I have enough pants but I don’t have a ton of tops that I love right now. I also need to find new running sneakers because my toes have worn holes through the sides of the mesh and are starting to poke through. I’m also feeling energized to start hitting my macros and see how I can change the composition of my body for the better!
1/28 Did not weigh. Went to the gym this morning to do strength and went for a run on my lunch today. I realized that I run faster later in the day compared to in the morning, which I thought was really interesting. Off to a relaxing yoga class tonight and then having some udon noodle soup for dinner. Happy Friday all and for those in New England, stay safe with the impending blizzard arriving tomorrow morning.
1/29 Yoga was exactly what I needed last night. It was so relaxing while being slightly challenging all at once. This morning, I’ve done dishes, put them away, made bread and some fresh peanut butter instead of having to buy it, and now I’m relaxing while the bread cools to have some for breakfast with a protein shake made with the remnants of the peanut butter in the blender with a frozen banana and vanilla whey protein powder. Hoping our power stays on during the storm. Today will be a rest day and I’m sure I’ll be shoveling/clearing my car off tomorrow morning.

Round # 43 for me!
SW: 373.8 (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)
1/27 373.8 – 5993 steps. Under calories, got steps and walk in and was in the bed on time.
1/28 374.8 – 5358 steps. Under calories but I still ate terribly. Snacking all day and not hungry and ate back movement calories. No walk so not surprised by gain. And the thing about me when I gain, it takes a minute to drop. But I am good, I know my body. I knew the carbs would show up today. I am going to take my calories off the MFP preset calories for my weight and put to 1200 to 1500 calories. I have not decided which one yet. How many of you use MFP recommend calories for your weight? I don’t want to set my calories too low. But I think I am going to start with 1200 and if I need to increase I will. It is snowing here in Chicagoland, and I love watching the snow. Snow is a love hate relationship! Lol And we have had a snowy January so far and more on the way….
1/29 373.0 – 7094 steps. I got in a Leslie Sansone DVD yesterday and a good calorie day with 1200 calories and eating back some exercise calories and some to spare. In bed on time and got over 7 hours of sleep even though I got up in the middle of the night to listen to the end of the finals of the Australian Open between Danielle Collins and Ash Barty. I am going to go to bed early tonight so I can get up about 6:00 to finish the end of the men’s final
1/30 373.0 – 5489 steps. I did get in another workout with DVD. Had another zoom memorial yesterday and today. The memorial today was a high school friend who died age 57 from complications caused from COVID. It was a very nice zoom memorial. Both were very uplifting and encouraging.

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 -

1/27 Did a snatch, renegade row, clean, push-up workout this morning. I interviewed with the surgical department at the hospital closer to me and now I have lots to think about. Back to work tomorrow for 2 days. Leftover egg casserole for lunch. Cabbage soup with seitan for dinner. Pull day for strength with a lot of deadlifts and I started put plenty sore.. wonder how I’ll feel tomorrow afternoon! Protein: 149
1/28 work 1/2. I updated my goals on mfp to reflect 0.5 loss per week instead of 1 and now my diary is all messed up.. wrong calorie and macro targets on every future day. I looked it up and it appears to have been a known problem since 2015… anyone ever run into this and been able to fix it? I contacted customer support. Husband made a really yummy sweet potato broccoli stew from loveandlemons for dinner. Protein: 132
1/29 work 2/2. I tried updated my goals again today and it fixed my diary, glad the problem is resolved. Shakshuka for dinner. Protein: 126

1/27 244 C:1815 P:114 F:22 Busy day at work and I didn’t get everything done, but I did some gym research and think I found a good place. I’m going to go check it out tomorrow and possibly start my membership.
1/28 243, Weighed in, but I forgot to check in on here yesterday.
1/29 241 C: 1910 (still under with exercise calories) P: 102 F: 9
Weekends are always more difficult, but I’ve really been struggling with my calorie goal. I know it’s a mental struggle, but dropping my goal to 1,900 has been difficult. It’s making me excited to start working out, mostly because I can eat back my calories. 😆
1/30 240.5 I’ve been working hard to keep my calories under my goal. I was very convicted in church this morning, and I realized that I have been making my weight loss an idol in my life. It has been my main focus for months and I’ve lost sight of what is most important in my life. So I’m getting my priorities straight. I’m still working on my wellness goals, but I don’t want them to control my thoughts anymore.

Round 176 (108th for me). Thanks @QuiltingJaine. Another round, I prove time and time again, round after round that I need this to help keep me on the straight and narrow! Would like to lose that 2.8 pound that I gained last round during this one.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!! But than I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment
1/27 137.6 - 10.15 miles walked and an hours yoga. Calories & all macros in credit. 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.
1/28 138 - 7.46 miles walked yesterday. Had way too many calories & in particular carbs, caused me to feel rough all night & I couldn't sleep with all the sugar in my system, I know it's not doing me any good so why? Will I ever learn, don't know why I keep doing this. I'm frustrated with myself & it's the same old same old! What can I say!!
1/29 137.6 – 10.06 miles walked. A much better food day, well under calories & all macros in credit.
1/30 136.4 – lovely big drop, didn't expect such a big one, may be up tomorrow due to no structured exercise expected today as we are driving up to spend the day with DD, DS & families. 11.59 miles over our local AONB; Cannock Chase, walked along different paths from any we've ever done before, very refreshing. Calories under, carbs 27g over, very happy with the day.
1/31 136.4 – well the number stuck ! To keep consistent for the rest of the round, choices were good but calories, carbs & fat over due to no structured exercise, 183,17g & 15g respectively.

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.

You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.

Highly recommend this recipe for a London Broil. I cooked it twice now ... in the oven and grilled and both turn out great.. Love the marinade (2-12 hrs). I used Tamari (Japanese form of soy sauce) instead of the Coconut Aminos. Think I’m going to try the marinade out on chicken next.

01/28 - 214.6 Happy to kick off with this as I was travelling with work for the last three days and so not eating well. I eat at maintenance over the weekend so think it will creep up by Monday but hopefully down again over the course of next week.

Day/Weight/Comment
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.
1/28 - 146 - I had some extra sodium yesterday and I will probably have extra tonight. I'll try to drink more water to compensate.
1/29 - 146 - It was a cold drive in to work, -14F wind chill, but it's better than the blizzard the East coast is facing today. I hope everyone here facing those winds and snow stay safe and warm.
1/30 - 146
1/31 - 146.5 - Went a little overboard on snacking this weekend. Back on track today.

Goals:I think I have to figure out how to be more balanced in my approach so that when life gets a little complicated. I need to not fully resort back to my old ways of no exercise and unplanned eating. During my rounds 127 – 139, I was in 4 challenge groups. They were great for challenging me during that time and can take credit for what I accomplished. Once I got what I thought was my goal of 128 and change, I did not know what my goals should be and I got rather lost in my head. I dropped out of 3 of the 4 challenge groups, and the one I continued with, while great, was one that I probably had the hardest time defining success in. Summer got complicated (won’t bore you) and I eventually could not handle “failing” repeatedly so I left that last group as well. Then fall came, and family issues (think aging parents) put me in a tailspin. I need to learn to respond better as, if you look at my lifelong history, this is not the first time.
So my goals are to track daily, honestly, and completely, and with intension. To plan ahead dietary choices as much as possible. Exercise daily – no specific minimum, just make it happen. Weight goal for round 176 is to be 135, for real. Given at the time I am typing this, I weighed 135.4 in the AM, I am not asking too much. After that, I would like to average 1 pound per 10 days, which would mean 8 lbs removed by the end of April.
Lastly, I added the cats into the mix. I figure a reminder to check them ever 10 days is good. I have been sloppy. I am trying to keep Harry’s weight from dropping and Han’s from increasing. Dream weights for each of them is a low 11 lb IMO.
SW: 138.2
Cats: Harry 10 lb 14 oz Han Solo 11 lb 13 oz
1/27- 136.4 Actually feels good to pay attention again
1/28- 135.4 Yesterday went well enough. Did 25 min on spin bike early in the AM. Fully planned and tracked my food. Last night, late evening, I did opt to have an extra 1 oz of parmesan because I had already been hungry for hours, and wondered about potential impact on sleep (I sleep poorly lately). Anyhow, scale is moving quickly, but I fully understand that it is just the flushing out that happens with improved diet.
1/29- 135.4 Perfectly content with that. 20 in spin yesterday with HR reaching 163, heading back to the bike in a minute. Today is that blizzard in New England. Will be interesting to see how it goes. Supposed to be a “historical” storm for the Boston area, and we are living in our new condo (long story) and I hear that this part of town tends to lose power. We shall see. I also need to take a bit and read the whole thread and catch up on familiar faces and begin to learn the new.
1/30- 135.4 Made it through the blizzard. Still not perfect on my eating (think parmesan cheese and likely went over by 100 calories in the end) but as “bad choices” go, its acceptable. Did a 30 minute spin at a slower pace just watching Hulu. I’m playing around with my exercise. My first step if for it to become my “normal” like it was last year for 9 months.
1/31- 136.2 Did 20 minutes of spin bike in the AM and was in no mood for it for unknown reason, but did it, so that is something. Rest of the day was fine and right on track, and then I went on a stress eating bender. The good thing that came of this is my fridge is cleaner. :P

1/31 - 147.8 - Struggling with TMI. Some yesterday, but not enough. Water has been good but food hasn't been ideal. This weekend was a bit all over the place with trying to get BigBro settled in. Today I promised myself I'd do my NF bodyweight workout since I have no excuse to skip it since it's a work day. Plus, its raining and supposed to storm all day anyway so I'm not finding excuses to be outside and procrastinate a workout. Gearing up for a cold front Thursday with wintery mix of ice and snow. On good front: appraisal came back higher than what we requested loan for. Water stuff should be done by Wednesday, and things moving along. Mom is progressing in recovery much much better now she's home. Two huge weights off my shoulder. I apologize if I'm intermittent over the next month or so as this house thing happens. If everything goes somewhat smoothly, we are hoping to close, paint, and move in by end of February. We have a guy that would love to take over our lease and move in, so if that works out, we're hoping he can take over rent in March.

Previous Day's Comments1/27 - 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. Coming from a recovering perfectionist
1/28 - Sigh, no TMI for 2 days now. I feel the heaviness, but don't look or feel bloated, so that's all I can think of. Food yesterday was more balanced than it has been in a week, so I'm sure my body is simply re-adjusting as well. Water was good, per usual. Workout complete yesterday. Not so sore today, but I can feel it a tad. BigBro (as I will refer to BF's oldest son) will be home around dinner, assuming his flights have no delay. I have to take pup to get follow up shots, nails trimmed, and ears looked at (worried she has ear infection) this morning and then go grocery shopping, hopefully early enough to miss the weekend stupidity. We're guessing Fam will have us over for dinner as we usually do on Fridays. Particularly since they adore the kids and are excited to see BigBro. If not, I'm coming up with a backup plan for dinner for us. Mom is doing TONS better now she's home. Environment really does play a factor in it all. BF's sister is in ICU. Stage 4 brain AND lung cancer, plus a blood clot in her lung. New inspection complete with the "pending repair" status has been submitted to loan manager. Sellers agreed to shock well and get new sample which should be cleared today or Monday. Waiting on that and appraisal now. Whew.
