60F, 5'3.5", married with two adult children, one living in a nearby town, the other halfway across the world (military), grandparents to one big, furry German Shepherd (not the one in my profile pic--even bigger!). GW for end of Feb (vacation): 135 lbs, 137 (?) for this Round.

2/2. 139.4. My morning routine changed a bit yesterday and I didn't get to posting my weight, doing it now. Got a half a foot of snow yesterday; most of the snow from a few days ago had melted, at least off of the roads. Getting low on lettuce, but have a couple more days worth (my husband and I have salads for dinner (and have for three years!)). We occasionally have soup for dinner and I'm planning to make some homemade soup tomorrow or so. I'm making a sausage corn chowder. I don't know if it was this thread that someone mentioned this kind of soup, but we''ll try it out. Here's to staying warm!

Sigh. I had been having foot pain for the last few months and finally went to the podiatrist. He said there is a stress fracture in my foot and has put me in a boot for 6 weeks. I had been really enjoying getting back into cycling, but this means no cycling and much less walking for 6 weeks. I keep telling myself I can still eat healthy etc., but whenever I've fallen off the wagon it has been because I couldn't exercise for some reason. I am going to try to lean in to strength training since I can still do that and that will help me retain muscle.

Short term goal: stick with it for 60 days (22/60).

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.

1/27 118.0 Spent all day yesterday in quilt guild meetings, ate 2 not fancy salads - dinner “Greek” salad (different than our regular places) was lacking just about everything it did have some gyro meat, ate 1/4 tough pita, had 1/3 Granny Smith apple with Smucker’s Natural peanut butter.
1/28 117.0 Not much appetite yesterday 🤷‍♀️ I’m all out of sync today. Trying to cancel cruise for the upcoming October due to vaccine status requirements.

1/31 117.5 MUCH TMI success yesterday LOL
2/1 117.5 Shopping and driver’s license renewal today
2/2 117.0 Shopping didn’t happen. Someone hit DH’s car, speeding and passing on the right on a one lane road! No injuries. Couldn’t get Real ID because I haven’t seen my Social Security card since I last worked. The number is printed on a document from SSA but that wasn’t good enough. DHS/Federal rules do not require social security info for Real ID so it must be a Nevada rule which is interesting since they require NO ID to vote in this state!

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!

Round 176 138.2 1/26/22 Harry 10 lb 14 oz Han Solo 11 lb 13 oz

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

2/1- 136.2 1/31 was wild. No time for spin, and the day completed with a birthday celebration for my grandson. He turned two yesterday. While I was cautious with my food, I did not track. But that is all ok. 2/1 should be good.

2/2- 136.0 Not keeping my focus perfectly, but I am tracking. In two days, we shift our home to Florida for 3 months. All sounds nice, and it is nice, but the shifting process has not yet come easy. The first year that we did this was for 2 months in 2020, we drove 1600 miles with the cats and COVID became a thing days later. Last year, we tried 10 weeks and drove again with the cats. This year is three months and we are going to try flying with the cats. I am calling them “KittyHawks” now. :P The difference between a vacation and a home shift is you are not back home in 2 weeks for that item you forgot, or didn’t know, you would need. Last year, I did not bring my cats eye med since, up north, he only has eye issues in the month of August. Well Florida has different pollen and actually has “flowering things” year round. So he had eye issues, no med available, and vet will not prescribe without seeing. Just odd things like that. I am using this round to get myself at least making an effort. For round 177, we will have made it all the way to Marathon (we fly into West Palm Beach airport Friday, stay with MIL until Sunday morning when we drive the 4 hours into the Keys).

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.
1/31 373.0 – 5534 steps.
2/01 375.0 – 5152 steps. I have been struggling. Fast food challenge over and no desire to go out and get any. Too much snacking and carbs. Doing a little better today. Logging it all. Back in the red

Not worried, going to get back on it. Tomorrow is a new day and another Zoom memorial. I am going to take 2 hours personal time to attend. A close friends Mother passed who caught COVID in an assisted living facility.
2/02 375.0 – 6531 steps. Good day yesterday. Memorial was nice today. I got in a short walk yesterday also.

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.

Nahlei · February 2022

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 Posts

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

1/30 really nice day outside today. I enjoyed some sunshine and did a push-up, KB swing, squat workout outside and took a walk. Leg day for strength.. my squats have been feeling really good. I did sets of 6 at 205 today. Okonomiyaki for dinner. Protein: 164

1/31 Another lovely day! Feels like spring and is making me ready to garden. We are expecting snow and ice this week though. I hate driving to work in ice. I interviewed with a job in the cath lab today. I think I might end up staying put though. I really like my boss and 3 12’s just allows for so much scheduling flexibility. I can easily get big chunks of time off and I really appreciate being able to run errands at odd hours on week days without crowds. I’m feeling so good in the gym.. seems like I’m just getting PR after PR. Took a walk, did a devil’s press and box jump workout, and then did a press day. Got sets of 5 bench press at 115 which is good for me. Bench has always been one of my weakest lifts. Protein: 139

2/1 Last free day before work for 3. Good timing to work 3 in a row with an ice and snow storm coming up for those days 🤪 Jump rope, clean and jerk workout this morning and a walk. Pull day with rack pulls for strength tonight. Went ahead and prepped most of dinner for tomorrow night since my husband prefers to drive my Subaru in the snow and ice. So, he will just stay late at his job and pick me up when I’m done since we work in the same area. Made a brown rice, mushroom, bokchoy, tofu bowl with a miso sauce for dinner tonight. Red lentil falafel pitas for dinner tomorrow. I don’t know how I’m just now getting into Love and Lemons recipes.. so far they’ve been really tasty. Protein: 168

Of course it's that number again...

So frustrated. I've been stuck at 190-192 since the 15th. I tried more water, upped calories about 200, talked to a nutritionist, lowering calories, more exercise... Nothing is working.

02/02: 190.2 lbs (-1.0)
Lowest it's been in a while - hoping this is the start of a trend!

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

Female, 5’3”, 61
Ultimate Lifetime Goal: Weigh Less Each Year Than the Last

2019 SW: 245 BMI 43.4 (1/2/2019) Lost 15 lbs in 2019 then regained 5
2020 SW: 235 BMI 41.6 (1/1/2020) Then back up to 241 before refocusing in Aug
2021 SW: 212 BMI 37.6 (1/1/2021) NOTE: Low 201.1 in August 2021
2022 SW: 209 BMI 37.0 (1/1/2022)
GW: <200 in 2022 BMI 35.2
UGW: 165 BMI 29.2 Overweight NOT Obese

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150's

My goal for 2022 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.

Plans:🔹Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, strength training, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target walking 100 miles each month
🔹Drink more water (target min 64-80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)
🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
🔹Drink less alcohol (~12-16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

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.

1/31 210.1 Walked 3 miles, 1763 cal (-112 red), 65 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. The above marinade works wonders with chicken legs! Completed menu plan and grocery list for this week. Also prepped the Unit 1 for volunteer teaching ESL/LEM (Learn English Ministry).
2/1 210.2 Rain so no walk, Strength Training 1 hr, 1867 cal (-350 red), 51 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Successful grocery shopping trip this morning led to following through with my menu planning for lunch & dinner! BONUS: I did NOT pick up a Snickers at the checkout when grocery shopping.
2/2 211.8 Walked 1.5 miles, 2082 cal (-575 red), 164 net carbs, 2 glasses wine + bourbon & diet sprite. Skipped strength training class since I’m teaching English on Tues & Thurs mornings now. I need to find a new exercise schedule that works! Loved my new photography with the cell phone class! Great plan for both lunch & dinner. HOWEVER, the community center gave me a box of fried rice, egg roll and fortune cookie to celebrate lunar new year when I went to class. I took it home and added it to our dinner … which took me into the red for the day.
2/3 212.2 Walked 1.3 miles, 2033 cal (-569 red), 71 net carbs, Torchy’s Tini. Crazy day driving up early after not sleeping well to babysit granddaughter while my DIL went to doctor, both lunch & dinner dined out, no real exercise … short walk but skipped my strength training class in the evening because I was exhausted. Terrible excuses and the number on the scale is a reflection of my poor choices.

**************************************

1/27 139.6 (trend 140.6) Back at it x

1/28 139.2 (trend 140.4) My lowest trend weight, this means my Christmas gains are finally gone! Had a busy day cleaning, preparing for guests and didn't stop to eat, only snacks. Going to a party tomorrow, haven't done that in literally years as I'm not the sociable type. Only going because OH wants me there to support him, dreading it!

1/29 138.2 (trend 140.1) Woa! Nice big drop! Urgh, so stressed about this bloody party tonight, found out last night that it's a formal thing, the host is wearing a suit, damn! Fine for my OH as he can just chuck a suit and tie on but for me that means hair, nails, make up etc. My hands and arms are covered in cuts and bruises from working on my kitchen reno, I'm well overdue a hair cut, no clue how to do make up anymore, I haven't worn anything formal since my wedding 4 years ago when I was 30lbs heavier and I have no idea what I'm gonna wear! Arghhh. I don't wannaaaaaa!

1/30 138.8 (trend 139.9) Trend weight finally into the 130s! So the party was fine if a bit awkward, I did get a lot of grief for it having been so long since I last saw all my hubby's friends and there was a bit of frostiness towards me from some of the women but hey ho. It was nice to not feel self conscious about my weight for once, I wore one of my teenage daughter's dresses in the end!

1/31 141.4 (trend 140.1) Well who'd have thought a tiny 7 inch pizza would cause such a big gain, sigh. It's frustrating, I really thought I was leaving the 140s behind me at last.

2/01 140.4 (trend 140.1) Still a bit bloated from the weekend, I really need to drink more water and find time to fit in a walk every day

2/02 139.8 (trend 140.1) Slept well and drank more water so woke feeling nicely refreshed. Trend weight looks like I'm slipping into maintenance again so I need to shake things up somehow

2/03 138.6 (trend 139.9) Bouncing around a lot this round. I was expecting a gain as I ate loads of carby snacks last night. Woke up really thirsty so I think this loss is just dehydration, it'll be back up tomorrow.

@39flavours I totally understand your frustration with not continuously staying in the 130's. With my goal of 135, I know I am sabotaging my efforts with my mind (and actions, lol). I have gotten to 137 point something a couple times and bounce right back up.

It takes so much patience and consistency doesn't it, when you're so close to goal the speed of loss is glacial! I know what you mean about self sabotage, I ate loads of junk last night for no good reason and have probably blown the whole round!

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.
2/01 - 146.5
2/02 - 146 - A little stressed due to the impending Winter storm. Gathering work at my office today to work from home tomorrow. It looks like my area will likely escape most of the ice, so that was good news this morning. After the 16 inches of snow we got 2 weeks ago, 12 doesn't sound too bad and it is a lot better than ice accumulations. I hope everyone else in the path of this storm stays safe.
2/03 - 146 - Working from home today. I just need to stay away from the kitchen and walk around the house to keep up on my steps.

Day/Weight/Comment

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.
01/28 - 199.7 - Have to imagine just normal water fluctuations here, especially considering my workouts this morning weren't as sweat-inducing. I was supposed to do a 20 minute lower body workout but after yesterday my body said NO! and I listened. Sunday will mark the 1 year anniversary of the 6 day stay in the hospital and 1.5 months on supplemental oxygen. I'm going to use my lungs hard this weekend in celebration of making it through that.
01/29 - 199.5
01/30 - 202.8
01/31 - 200.8 - This is why I didn’t count my chickens before they hatched. Final weekend before tax season kicks into full gear so I did some extra eating/drinking. Now I’m done drinking until after tax season and the workouts will continue. I woke up at 5am just to get my hour+ of workouts in and I feel great. I will lose 20 lbs by the end of tax season… ideally by my 32nd birthday in March!
02/01 - 200.0 - I have this idea to wake up and get strength and cardio workouts in before a long work day. In my mind it’s perfect, my body hates me in the morning though. I’m going to need to figure out what I can do through this busy season to stay active and keep losing while being able to work.
02/02 - 197.5 - This was a pleasant surprise, but I will chalk a lot of this up to possibly not drinking enough water yesterday. Been a stressful time at work and just forgetting to drink as much. NSV: I bought new jeans because my wife said the "new pair" I bought in August were too loose. These new jeans are the smallest I've had since college... and they're loose!
02/03 - 196.9 - A new low for me this morning. Maybe finally breaking through that almost 2 month plateau! I have to bring more healthy snacks to work so I don't shove garbage in my mouth at night. That's the one correction I know I need to make.

Day/Weight/Running Average/Calories/Comment

1/27 - 178.6, Ave 178.5
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!

1/28 - 178.6, 178.5
It was nice to get out to doggy school and move a bit last night—it’s been too cold for me outdoors. I don’t plan to go anywhere today—brrrrr.

1/29 - 179.6, 178.9
Woops. These cold days make me crave fats and carbs, and I gave in last night. Ok, reset. It’s bitter cold here, but little snow. I’m thinking of all of you in the path of the east coast storm. Be safe.

1/30 - 180, 179.2
Calories on target yesterday, so this is time lag. It's fine. I kept breakfast low and will have salad for lunch. Making Creamy Chicken Tortilla Soup for dinner. Sounds very satisfying to me! Stay warm!

1/31 - 178, 178.9
That’s better. Now to nudge it a bit further.

2/01 - 178.2, 178.8
Weird weather! It’s been very cold here, but today it’s supposed to hit 47F, then drop drastically, rain tonight, then 10 inches of snow forecast. I’m getting whiplash! Oh, well, good reading and knitting weather on the way, and outdoor run-the-puppy weather today. I skipped dinner last night because of doggy school, so we have Sunday’s creamy chicken tortilla soup for dinner tonight. It’s yummy, and calories are reasonable. I really want to get below 178 by the end of this round, so I’m determined to behave myself.

2/02 - 178.2, 178.6
So much for behaving myself—I went a bit crazy last night. Oh, well. Starting over today. The snow has begun—10-12 inches on the way. I’m hoping to do some painting today—a watercolor dog portrait I donated to a Christmas raffle. I haven’t been painting for a while for fear of the puppy getting into stuff, but he’s old enough to behave himself with supervision. Stay warm & safe, everyone.

2/03 - 178.2, 178.7
Snow! Lots of snow!

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.

1/27: 212.8
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

1/28: 213.4
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.

1/29: 211.8
Happy Saturday everyone!

Aaaaaand then this just happened. Problem yesterday with eating between snacks.

Want to make this a good month!

2/2: 213.8
2/3:214.6
Snowstorm yesterday. Lots of snow management activity and lots of comfort food conjured up by the Mrs.

It’s amazing how I had no time to log all of my food…or was it that I didn’t want to see what kind of damage home made ham and bean soup with cornbread/butter/syrup did.

Not much of a productive day for the office overall since our parking lot was off-limits to mere mortal vehicles. Good thing we could log in from home. I am back in the office today.

Goals: HIT.MY.STEP.GOAL!!! 10,000/day; <100 carbs/day; Pelo ride 2-3x/week; end the round at a lower weight than what I started it at.

1/27- 189.0 Well I knew the hormones would hit soon. Here they are. 75 net carbs yesterday and step goal hit. Now to just keep chugging along through the next week or so of the hormonal stall.

1/28- 186.8 Well, my body is not following its usual pattern this time around! Usually by now, I’m in the thick of a 10 day stall, not dropping 2 lbs overnight! I’ll take it though, that’s for sure! 69 net carbs yesterday, steps hit, and Pelo ride done.

1/29- 187.4 Kind of expected that. The hormones had me nibbling for most of the day. It’s all good though. Today will be better! 66 net carbs and step goal hit.

1/30- 186.8 Back down! 47 net carbs and step goal hit.

1/31- 187.8 Expected, after a snack sesh last night. Back on the train today!

2/1- 188.6 Well I’m not entirely sure what happened. I’m thinking it was either spending a decent amount of time in the kitchen again yesterday, or hormones have just shown up late. 50 net carbs and steps in. I’ve been slacking on the strength training, but today I will make up the missed session from yesterday.

2/2- 188.4 I really wasn’t sure what to expect after a carby dinner at MIL’s last night. 111 total net carbs yesterday by my best estimation. I didn’t hit my steps, nor did I get my strength training in, but I did hop on the Pelo last night after we got home from dinner. I think ultimately that’s what made the difference. So from now on, I think I’ll make it a point to ride the Pelo any time we have dinner plans like that.

2/3- 188.8 I had a great day yesterday. Did well with food, finishing at 61 net carbs. Got my steps in and finally did a strength training session after having slacked off since last week. Not sure why the uptick. I’m kind of annoyed about it. Oh well. I’ll keep on keeping on.

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

2/1- 136.2 1/31 was wild. No time for spin, and the day completed with a birthday celebration for my grandson. He turned two yesterday. While I was cautious with my food, I did not track. But that is all ok. 2/1 should be good.

2/2- 136.0 Not keeping my focus perfectly, but I am tracking. In two days, we shift our home to Florida for 3 months. All sounds nice, and it is nice, but the shifting process has not yet come easy. The first year that we did this was for 2 months in 2020, we drove 1600 miles with the cats and COVID became a thing days later. Last year, we tried 10 weeks and drove again with the cats. This year is three months and we are going to try flying with the cats. I am calling them “KittyHawks” now. :P The difference between a vacation and a home shift is you are not back home in 2 weeks for that item you forgot, or didn’t know, you would need. Last year, I did not bring my cats eye med since, up north, he only has eye issues in the month of August. Well Florida has different pollen and actually has “flowering things” year round. So he had eye issues, no med available, and vet will not prescribe without seeing. Just odd things like that. I am using this round to get myself at least making an effort. For round 177, we will have made it all the way to Marathon (we fly into West Palm Beach airport Friday, stay with MIL until Sunday morning when we drive the 4 hours into the Keys).

2/3- 135.0 I also did an early check in of the cats, just as a final weight on their Massachusetts scale as a comparative reference for their Florida scale. Harry 10 lb 15 oz (likely has not peed), Han 11 lb 13 oz. Tomorrow morning, I will be too distracted, and then sat and sun, we will be en route to our florida home (no weigh in 2/5 or 2/6 for me). Yesterday went well enough, again not perfect, no exercise and a little over in calories. I will continue to track these next days and hope to hold onto the 135 for the rest of the 10 days.

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.

1/27 118.0 Spent all day yesterday in quilt guild meetings, ate 2 not fancy salads - dinner “Greek” salad (different than our regular places) was lacking just about everything it did have some gyro meat, ate 1/4 tough pita, had 1/3 Granny Smith apple with Smucker’s Natural peanut butter.
1/28 117.0 Not much appetite yesterday 🤷‍♀️ I’m all out of sync today. Trying to cancel cruise for the upcoming October due to vaccine status requirements.

2/2 117.0 Shopping didn’t happen. Someone hit DH’s car, speeding and passing on the right on a one lane road! No injuries. Couldn’t get Real ID because I haven’t seen my Social Security card since I last worked. The number is printed on a document from SSA but that wasn’t good enough. DHS/Federal rules do not require social security info for Real ID so it must be a Nevada rule which is interesting since they require NO ID to vote in this state!

Day/Weight/Comment
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.
1/31 / 180.2 / Another Monday is here. I am donating blood right after work so staying hydrated and nourished beforehand is key!
2/1 / 178 / Was back on the bike today before work. Snowy here so I'm going to try Peloton's shadow boxing on my lunch break instead of my usual walk.
2/2 / 178.4 / Still cold here today. Started the morning with another Peloton boxing session. Plans for lower body strength and hopefully a bike ride. Gotta get through work first!
2/3 / 179.2 / New 45 PR on the Peloton yesterday and a yummy steak dinner. It's still cold here but it's going to warm up in time for the weekend. Yay!

1/27- 198.0 (+2.0) I had my indulgence meal last night and loved every bite. I’m back on track today hoping to finish this ten day’s 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.

1/28- 198.0 (+2.0) I should start dropping tomorrow. Last night I was sitting in one of my chairs with my feet next to me when I realized I could easily reach my foot. And so I experimented with my flexibility and…woohoo!! I will be able to paint my toenails easily now. A totally unexpected and surprising NSV. Now, where is that polish?
1/29- 197.6 (+1.6) Slowly coming down after my indulgence meal the other day. It will drop further in the next few days. I swam yesterday for an hour. It felt good. I discovered, at least according to my Apple Watch, that I burn more calories swimming breaststroke instead of free style. I guess it makes sense since I use larger movements on breaststroke. So, I’m alternating. Today is Orange Theory Fitness and lots of water. Hoping for a swoosh tomorrow.
1/30- 198.0 (+2.0) Had a great workout yesterday at Orange Theory and spent the rest of the day painting. I was within calories, but definitely didn’t get enough water. A little disappointed, but expecting the loss to come soon.
1/31- 196.4 (+.4) Phew! I must have had a lot of salt in my indulgence meal a few days ago. Finally close to my low weight. No organized exercise today, just staying on plan.
2/1- 196.6 (+.6) What a tease the scale is sometimes. Today I’m swimming and plan to be warm and at home by the time the snow begins this afternoon. Hoping to finish one of my bigger paintings today!
2/2- 196.0 (0) I’m finally back to my starting weight this round, which is disappointing. I was hoping to be down more this late into the challenge. I’ve been eating all my exercise calories back and snacking more. I’ll be making my healthy breakfast burritos today and some pumpkin protein muffins so I have healthier stuff to grab. I find if I eat a more calorie dense breakfast, I have a hard time staying under my calorie goals. Onward and downward.
2/3- 195.6 (-.4) Okay…finally down a little from my starting weight. It’s about four below here in Denver, so I’m planning to stay home and paint. That means I need to be extra careful staying on plan today.

No change. Tired of seeing that number! Really hard workout yesterday and feel sore this morning. Maybe it's fluid retention. Lot's of water today.
01/28: 190.4 lbs (-0.2)
01/29: 190.6 lbs (+0.2)
Ugh.
01/30: 191.4 lbs (+0.8)
Knew that was coming. Ate out with friends last night - pizza. Carbs always spike my weight. Good workout yesterday so staying positive that this isn't a trend up, just waiting for my body to catch up!
01/31: 190.6 lbs (-0.8)
Of course it's that number again...
02/01: 191.2 lbs (+0.6)
So frustrated. I've been stuck at 190-192 since the 15th. I tried more water, upped calories about 200, talked to a nutritionist, lowering calories, more exercise... Nothing is working.
02/02: 190.2 lbs (-1.0)
Lowest it's been in a while - hoping this is the start of a trend!

02/03: 189.4 lbs (-0.8)
Gym was closed yesterday due to the snow storm so I had to improvise at home. Proud of myself that I didn't use it as an excuse to not work out.

wakegrrl · February 2022

Hi, I’m Kathy.
57, F, 5’8”
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
HSW: 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.
1/28 256.6 Headed to the doctor in a bit to see what’s up with my knee. I think it’s likely arthritis, but I hope we can figure out a solution that will let me work out without pain. Otherwise, meals are planned and logged and I have my water sitting next to me. Fridays are pizza night at our house but I’ll try to compensate for that the rest of the day.
1/29 255.8 Got some things done and a fair number of steps in.
1/30 256.2 Had a headache so I sat on the couch all day and watched The Sound of Music (and some football). Comfort at its finest! But I also wasn’t hungry.
1/31 255.6 Back at it. Doctor is sending me for an orthopedic consult for the knee, so waiting for them to call. Physical therapy starts in a couple of weeks. In the meantime I’ll just keep on keeping on. So far so good!
2/1 254.8 10 lbs lost since returning to MFP last month!
2/2 255.8 I expected a bit of a bump because I know I’ve had more sodium than usual this week. Hoping for a whoosh in the next couple of days. Meals for today are planned and logged (and low in sodium!).
2/3 255.8 Nothing to see here. Literally. Reminding myself to trust the process.
