Hi, I’m Kathy.
57, F, 5’8”
3rd 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: 255.6
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
2/6 255.6 Out to dinner with friends last night, so expected to be up, and was. Tracked everything I ate and drank, though.
2/7 254.6 Cold, rainy Monday here. Food is all planned for today, along with a walking workout. I think I’m very late to the Leslie Sansone party, but her workouts don’t bother my knee too much.
2/8 254.4 Food planned and logged for today, and walk planned.
2/9 252.6 Whoosh! I know this will bounce around but it arrived at a good time for me emotionally. Lots going on today, so meals are planned and logged. Two hours of handbell rehearsal tonight will take the place of today’s workout.
2/10 252.6 Headed to PT this morning to get some help with my knee. I’m really looking forward to this. Meals for today are planned. A friend brought me cookies yesterday for helping her with something earlier this week and I was proud of myself that I only ate one. That’s a definite NSV for me.
2/11 252.8 PT appt went well yesterday; ortho is today. Hoping for answers to and help with the knee pain. Busy weekend ahead. Got to keep up with the water, the PT, and the workouts.

2/6: 143.5 - Happy to hold steady. Was cleaning the pantry and tasted a few things to see if they were still good. Yep, M&M’s don’t go stale.
2/7: 144.8 - Good workouts. Dinner at a friend’s house with delicious everything. Didn’t overindulge too much, except on cheese, crackers and olives. Oh, and maybe a little wine and champagne. Okay, I guess I did overindulge.
2/8: 144.8 - Normal workouts and eating.
2/9: 144.8 - Normal workouts, but some evening snacking did me in calorie- and macro-wise
2/10: 143.5 - Back to where I started the round. Extra long walk plus a slightly lighter workout. Ate back half of my exercise calories..
2/11: 144.0 - Normal workout, normal eating, albeit on the higher end of the range.

I am confused by gaining. I have not gone over calorie budget of 1200 calories. Maybe because I ate pasta last night? I have not exercised for a few days. Maybe that's it? Hmmm. I blame the scale. It must be broken , haha.6 -

Nursing strikes are normal around the 1 year mark. If you want to continue breastfeeding, it is absolutely a possibility. I wish I had known when my middle child did the same thing at that age.
A lactation consultant/specialist or La Leche League would be able to give you specific ideas and answer any questions.
Thanks 😊 I fed my first until he was 3 so had expected this one to be the same, but he's 15 months and has refused to even go near my boobs for a while now. He's so curious and independent, I think he sees them as a barrier 🙄 he's really happy, sleeps through the night and is so cuddly. It's me that's the problem, as I'm finding it hard to let go and deep down I know I should be respecting his choice...3 -

Knew this was coming. Splurged on chips yesterday and couldn't stop until they were gone. Way too much sodium. Still under calories for the day, but not by much. Gotta kick myself out of hibernation. Can wait for spring!

Was stood up for 2 dates this weekend and consoled myself with a box of crappy boxed mac and cheese. Not crazy calories, I stayed under goal, but a lot of carbs and not worth it! And thank you to the 2 guys for letting me know your character before I had to sit through a dinner with you!

SW: 280
2/6: 266.6 - Down 13.4 pounds - Today was the first day since I restarted my journey that I craved something other than my prepared food. It took everything I had in me not to pop into some fast food joint. I've worked too hard to give up now.
2/7 - 267.2 - Down 12.8 pounds - A little annoyed by the increase, but when I woke up sore this morning I anticipated a slight gain. I ate right and worked out so I'm proud of myself.
2/8 - 265.8 - Down 14.2 pounds - I am feeling so much stronger than the previous week. I did a yoga workout and I was able to do so much more, stretch so much farther, and stay engaged in the moves longer. This is so exciting.
2/9 - 265.4 - Down 14.6 pounds - Eating right and working out is paying off. I am on track to beat my February goal of 259 pounds. Hooray 🎉
2/10 - 264.4 - Down 15.6 pounds - Progress is so satisfying! Today ends week 2 of my 3 week exercise program. So excited to finish this program, enjoy a few days off, and then on to the next program.
2/11 - 264.6 - Down 15.4 pounds - Two weeks down and 1 week to go in my current exercise program. So proud of myself. I'm up .2 pounds but I'm okay with that. Last time I went up I had a nice loss the next day. I also measured myself and my breast and hips are losing inches. So exciting!

Round # 44 for me!
SW: 373.0 (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)
2/06 373.0 – 4494 steps
2/07 373.0 – 4840 steps. Had a splurge day yesterday – I thought I would have gained today. I did not track yesterday. I ate out for the first time in over a month and did not get sick and enjoyed my meal. Back on it today. Now I am going to make it no eating out every 10 days vs the regular 7-day week since I did the whole month of January successfully. I have lost 7 pounds so far this year and I am doing a happy dance. My goal this month is to successfully get to the next decade. I am going to be very busy the next 2 weeks so I may not be posting nothing but my weigh ins.
2/08 373.0 – 5724 steps.
2/09 372.2 – 5412 steps. What a rotten day yesterday at work! Drama for you Mama…. But I don’t even want to chat about it because it was so deep. But I am over it and the good thing is I did not binge because of the drama I ate very healthy, under calories and got in a good walk. But I did have a sleepless night because of drama at work which tells me it upset me more than I would have liked But this is life. I am happy I managed my emotions without turning to food. I called a friend and thank goodness I had a session with my therapist scheduled also. I even went to grocery store after work and did not pick up any additional junk food to sooth my emotions. I texted my boss I would not be in until noon to get my thoughts together and sleep late. I would have taken a sick day if I was not going on vacation Friday.
2/10 371.6 – 5146 steps. Busy, busy but staying on track and getting in short walks daily.
2/11 371.6 – 3233 steps. Finally on vacation! But it will be a busy one. I have to be careful not to overindulge while I am cleaning and doing taxes I went a little over calories but nothing to cry about for sure. I did not have time for a walk because I was working late since I am on vacation until the 22ND. I am going to chill today but get in a workout for sure.

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.9 -

Goals: HIT.MY.STEP.GOAL!!! 10,000/day; <100 carbs/day; Pelo ride 2-3x/week; end the round lower than what I started it at.
2/6- 187.4 96 net carbs and Pelo ride done. Happy with the loss!
2/7- 188.4 I did well with food yesterday-58 net carbs. I fell short on steps though. I think the gain is from spending time on my feet in the kitchen yet again. I wish I could find a way to prevent or minimize that. I find that it also happens if I spend too much time sitting at my sewing machine. It gets so frustrating! The only help I’ve found for it is getting on the Pelo after a day of baking.
2/8- 187.8 Had a great day yesterday- 46 net carbs, step goal hit, and strength training done. I am starting to think I’ve hit a bit of a plateau. Sure, I’m down a bit this morning, but I’ve just been staying within the same 3lb range for the past three weeks or so. I’ll just keep plugging along.
2/9- 187.8 I think maybe I need a bit of a maintenance break. I’ve been going hard pretty much since August. And now I seem to be a bit stuck. So as of today, I’m increasing my calorie goal for the next week or two. Finished yesterday with 43 net carbs, step goal hit, and Pelo ride done.
2/10- 189.4 Not unexpected nor surprising. Ate at maintenance level yesterday. 82 net carbs, but short on steps.
2/11- 189.4 62 net carbs and Pelo ride done. This maintenance thing is more challenging than weight loss mode. I find I have a hard time hitting close to the recommended calories, and have been finishing short.6 -

2/6 / 178.6 / Nice drop after a big day of exercise yesterday. Going out to the mountains to snowshoe today. Weather is beautiful and we love being so close to such a beautiful spot. Makes outdoor exercising inspiring and helps combat the winter blues. These rounds sure do go fast, don't they? Can't believe another one is kicking off.
2/7 / 181.6 / Fun day yesterday in the mountains followed by pizza and hot chocolate afterwards. Did some light cardio exercise when I got home and used the hot tub. Stomach definitely feels bloated today which is not a feeling I deal with often.
2/8 / 181 / Did a strength test yesterday, rode the Peloton, did some boxing, and walked. Lots of movement! My husband also smoked beef ribs on his charcoal grill. Portion size was small to fit it in but it was very tasty. He is an excellent cook.
2/9 / 180.4 / Feeling pretty sluggish in the mornings this week which is a bummer, but what can you do. I let myself sleep in this morning and started the day with a hot shower. We have dinner out with friends tonight so I've pre-tracked and I'll be eating at maintenance.
2/10 / 177.8 / Turned my mornings around today with a 5 a.m. wake-up and 45 minute Peloton ride before work. I do feel so much better overall. Another supper out tonight with a different set of friends... same plan as yesterday (meal pre-chosen and pre-tracked).
2/11 / 178 / Busy work day and we are off to Banff right after we finish to meet up with an out of town aunt and uncle for dinner and drinks. Got up before work for a 60 minute Peloton ride. Enjoy the weekend!

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.
