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.
2/16- 187.4 78 net carbs, step goal hit, and Pelo ride done. I go to see the doc today. I’m curious what she may suggest to help with this stall.
2/17- 187.6 73 net carbs, steps in, and strength training done. Doc told me to eat more-by about 200 more calories than I’ve been eating lately- so yesterday I did just that. Not surprised to see the uptick this morning considering, but I’ll wait (not so) patiently for my body to catch up and start dropping again.
2/18- 187.6 It appears as though the monthly hormonal stall has arrived. Last one brought on this month long stall though, so hopefully this one will end it. 68 net carbs, but fell short on steps, and postponed my usual Pelo ride till today, since I was so busy yesterday.
2/19- 187.8 Considering last night was my weekly indulgence, only a 0.2 gain is great! I got my Pelo ride in but not all of my steps. My carbs were only over my 100 net goal by 12, so not bad! On to today!
2/20- 189.0 And there’s the hormonal influx. That it’s actually following its normal pattern this month gives me hope. Hope that this one will take this stall with it when it goes! 91 net carbs, but fell short on steps. I’ll do better today.
2/21- 189.0 It is what it is. PMS has me wanting to eat my weight in chocolate. The cravings aren’t usually this bad. I’m chalking it up to being stalled out for the past month. I also feel like I’ve got some emotional things going on that aren’t helping matters, so I’m getting that all sorted. Anxiety and depression don’t mix well with January-February for me. Fortunately, I do feel like I’m coming out of it slowly now though. 85 net carbs yesterday, and tried out our new rowing machine too.
2/22- 189.2 88 net carbs, step goal hit, and strength training done. I’ve felt all out of sorts here lately- unfocused and struggling. I spent some time reading the forum here last night and have rediscovered my focus. So today, I’m determined. Let’s do this, Tuesday!
2/23- 189.4 82 net carbs, step goal hit, and Pelo ride done. I keep telling myself this week that this right now is just TOM water weight, but I won’t lie, I’m feeling so discouraged and stuck. I’m currently eating a higher calorie goal as per my doctor’s suggestion, but I often struggle to get to that number, and I just keep creeping up anyway. Yesterday was the best day I’ve had in a while, and yet I’m still up today. I’m considering giving up the low carb business for a bit to see if that makes a difference. But really, I’m at a loss.12 -

20: 196.2 Lots of physical activity planned for the day doing some bathroom and kitchen repairs. Will focus (more than usual) on lots of water today and tomorrow, along with less leniency on my carb intake. 1.2 pounds in 2 days. I've lost that overnight! Feeling like I've got this. Even if I don't quite reach this goal, I'm really happy with my progress and consistency over the last two months. Reaching my pre-motherhood weight actually feels attainable...more than it ever has in the past, even when I was at a lower weight than this!
21: 196.2 🥚 If I'm gonna make this goal, I guess I'll have to lose 1.2 pounds overnight. Lol Not looking real promising with hormones, but we'll see what tomorrow brings.
22: Will I reach my goal of 195 by this day? 🤞🏻💪🏼... 195.3 🥚 Not even gonna fuss about those 3/10 of a pound. This is a win! I've lost about 20 pounds in roughly 2 months. 💃💃💃My goal moving forward is 5 pounds per month. That would put me right around my pre-motherhood weight by my oldest child's 21st birthday. This is definitely happening this time!
23: 195.1 🥚 Happy Birthday to me! 🥳 My youngest daughter wants to make me a cake, so we're going to try grain-free baking today, I guess. In all the time I've been (mostly) grain-free, I have never made baked goods. This should be interesting. Lol

Day/Weight/Comment
2/16 / 180 / Up early to ride and then I went out to get my husband a special breakfast for his birthday. Work flew by and then we went to Calgary for a fun dinner out. The week of events is almost over, it's been fun for sure!
2/17 / 179.8 / Off to try tubing at Lake Louise Ski Hill (since my husband and I don't ski or snowboard).
2/18 / 180.2 / Back to work today and then it's a three day weekend since it's Family Day on Monday here in Alberta. The cold weather has mostly returned but we have lots of fun planned regardless.
2/19 / 180.2 / Working on my taxes today and watching a movie on Netflix with my Mom. I have a lower body strength day or cycling workout I can do (or both!) It's the only warm day of the weekend as well so we're going to enjoy it.
2/20 / 181.6 / Had another strength training session yesterday. Today I will be back on the Peloton. We are getting a lot of snow here so I'll be out shoveling that shortly as well.
2/21 / 180.6 / Did my long ride last night (60 minutes on the Peloton). Feeling pretty sore today but hoping to get in a total body strength workout for my exercise. There is a lot of snow and it's quite cold so the dog won't want to accompany me for a walk outside today. It's a holiday here in Alberta so it's nice to have one extra day off!
2/22 / 179.4 / Back to work today. Sun is shining but it's still cold. I am going to ride the Peloton over my lunch break since tonight is fairly full. Always requires careful planning to fit it all in.
2/23 / 176.4 / Lower movement day yesterday as it was cold and I spent most of my day on my devices between work and some personal video calls. I did use my lunch break to ride the bike though.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/15 …..196.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
02/16 …..194.4 ….. (Trend weight 195.7) Good luck everyone this round. Welcome old friends and new! This scale reading is a couple of good days in a row of diet and movement finally showing up in a bigger better way. Yesterday was another very good day on both fronts until…..that late night bagel Starving!) with honey butter on it and the handful of jolly ranchers (couple hundred calories?). Glad I didn’t sabotage the scale with it, unless it shows up later……To be continued.
02/17 …..196.0 ….. Trend weight 195.7) Back to square one. I’m not sure why I’m jumping up & down by about 1 ½ pounds pretty consistently lately, but it’s annoying. I did have a late night snack of ham roll-ups which I though would be okay since they are lower carb, but I didn’t think it would cause a 1.6 lb gain. This is probably showing up from the jolly ranchers the other night, but that is still a lot of weight. Hoping for a better tomorrow.
02/18 …..194.2 ….. (Trend weight 195.6) Well, after what appeared to be a very serious house fire filled with smoke I found out that it was my well pump that burned up. Smoke got into the cold air register making the smoke get transferred to all 3 floors. Breathing was difficult but it was obvious it was something I could shut down at it’s electrical box. Now, no water until God Himself know. Rural area here. Limited resources. Need a 1.5 HP jet deep well pump with dual inlet. Can’t seem to find one anywhere in America. I would like new, but I can’t even find one used. House size requires no less than that. And the well man (only one in my town) is not sure he knows how to even install this type. I have no idea what I am going to do at this point. Smdh. No answers.
02/19 …..194.4 ….. (Trend weight 195.4) I just need water. To drink, to bathe, to do dishes, to do laundry, to wash my hands! No answers. Where are my husband and brother when you need them? Oh, that’s right. They are in heaven. Maybe God will help then. Prayers requested please.
02/20 …..196.0 ….. (Trend weight 195.5) The up & down of the 1.5 pounds is really getting annoying! Great quantities yesterday. Steps & movement back up again. No snacks whatsoever. I think maybe it was the choices even though I am sure they were all within proper calorie levels. Gotta trust & move forward I guess.
02/21 …..196.0 ….. (Trend weight 195.6) A better week for sure but the renovations are still limiting my ability to exercise or get in enough movement, as well as my privacy. My short term goal is to hit the 180’s again and then hang on for dear life. I am picturing the man from “Up” holding on to those balloons. I need to get moving, hang on for dear life but enjoy the ride! Oh, and I need to keep promises….even to myself.
02/22 …..197.6 ….. (Trend weight 195.8) The well company never showed up for the appointment and never answered multiple calls. Pretty typical in my rural area. Not too many skilled trades like to travel to the multiple small towns that need service. My handyman put in a call to another company who said they would try to come today but we are in the midst of a winter storm warning with freezing rain and snow mix. I don’t know if they will come in this weather. Cortisol and stress eating and drinking last night (chocolate milk). The scale knows all your secrets.
02/23 …..196.4 ….. (Trend weight 195.8) Very low calorie burn yesterday but the diet was better. The other well company showed up bright & early this morning. This will cost way more than I planned and they are trying to figure out if a new type of pump (vertical) jet pump will fit in the space as they feel that will be more efficient than the horizontal pump that I have right now. They will call me later. Hopefully all will go well and they can get me on their schedule soon. Jury duty, however, tomorrow and Friday unless the evening call to the court house tells me the trial is off. Life is a tangled ball of yarn right now but it sounds like the knots are closer to being out. Continue prayers please and thanks to everyone for the well wishes.
02/24 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
02/25 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Hi, I’m Kathy.

4th round! Rebooting my lifestyle after several false starts. I need accountability to make sure it gets done.

Day/Weight/Comment
2/16 252.2 All the Valentine’s treats are gone and that’s a good thing. This is a really busy work week so not as much time available for workouts. Meals are planned and logged. Have a great round, everyone!
2/17 251.6 Back to PT again and my knee is already feeling better, which is a relief. Meals are planned and logged for today. Trying protein pasta for the first time tonight, with chicken and a little pesto. Major NSV yesterday – tried on a fitted shirt I hadn’t worn in three months (because it was tight) and it was loose through the torso!
2/18 251.4 Headed out of town for the weekend with hubby so no scales, no food weighing. Going to make good choices but also enjoy myself.
2/19 DNW
2/20 DNW
2/21 252.4 Well honestly, I expected that to be worse. Lots of steps logged, though, so I’m sure that helped. We had a great weekend but now back to work (on many levels). Meals for today are planned and logged. Going to hit the water hard and try to get rid of this.
2/22 251.6 Goodbye extra water! The PT and exercises seem to be helping my knee; hoping to be cleared to try the elliptical again when I see the therapist tomorrow.
2/23 251.2 My husband has T2 diabetes and has not been at all serious about taking care of himself – until this weekend when he finally admitted he’s lost much of the feeling in both feet. He’s blessed with one of those metabolisms that he doesn’t really have to watch what he eats, so he doesn’t. But now I have a partner in eating better and working out (at least for a while), which is great.

2/20 ~ 201.9. *21,800 steps/150 active/ lunch✔️ Dinner✔️ - SO just called and he’s coming home early from work, mixed feelings about this as I love him dearly but I do much better with my healthy eating while he’s away. Plus it’s easier to walk as he’s works away so much (3-5 weeks at a time) makes it hard to leave for an hour. I just started getting back. He’s the chef in the family and likes to spoil me, but we did talk about my goals and I’m sure he’ll support me. 🍀 Walk today and meal prep lunches unsure about dinners right now.
2/21 ~ 201.9 *30,400 steps/ 225 min, preplanning out the window. Went on a 20K walk, weather was beautiful. Sleep was terrible but tonight should be much better.
2/22 ~ 200.2 *12,100 steps/77 min. Did lunch prep for the week, SO is in charge of dinners and he's working on not cooking for an army. Haha. Feeling good and got some sleep.
2/23 ~ 200.9 *14,500/102 min SO and I went for an after dinner walk, it was so cold. Thanks for supporting me my .

@Nicoles0305 Hang in there Nicole. I've seen people who have hit plateaus for weeks and months on here and things finally whoosh. I'm not sure I could stay that focused if it was a long drawn out time. Patience may be a virtue, but it's one I'm not too good at. Rooting for you!!

2/16- 195.6 (-1.8) Hmmm…this isn’t my lowest weight, but part of the bouncing that’s been happening since the beginning of the month. I’m back on plan and started yesterday after ten days of a maintenance break. My lowest weight earlier in the month was 195.2. I’m happy to be getting close and hope to blow right past that in the next week. I swam yesterday. Today is a busy day so no organized exercise. Just lots of water.
2/17- 194.4 (-3.0) There it is. A new low. I’ve been focused on drinking all my water and staying on plan the last few days. I’ve lost over 24% of my starting weight and am 2/3rds of the way to my goal weight of 160. Woohoo! I’m so glad I took a break instead of getting frustrated.
2/18- 193.4 (-4.0) It’s amazing how my body responds after a maintenance break. I’m down 1.8 pounds from my previous low weight. I was a little over calories yesterday and didn’t quite get all my water in. I’ll do better today, because I’m swimming which usually gives me an additional 600+ calories. I eat back a little over half. My next mini-goal? To be in the 180’s.
2/19- 193.6 (-3.8) Swimming was wonderful yesterday with the exception of some leg cramping. I need to figure out what to add to my diet that will help. I’m also starting to get more leg cramps overnight. I’ve added bananas and a bit of salt to my diet. I’m going to start taking a multi-vitamin and see what happens. Today is no formal exercise. I’d usually have an indulgence meal around this time of the week, but I’m going to hold off until next week since I just started back on plan.
2/20- 193.8 (-3.6) Heading out today to walk with my sister. Our normal hiking trails still have lots of snow, so we’ll walk on a beautiful path in the city. I’m not sure why I’m bumping up a little each day, but still really happy to be where I am. Would love to be in the 180’s by the end of the month.
2/21- 193.4 (-4.0) My sister and I had fun walking yesterday with the dogs. It was a beautiful day and nice to spend a Sunday with her. I’ve been so busy, it’s been easy not to focus on food so I have more calories at dinner time. No organized exercise today, so I’ll stay on plan. We took progress photos yesterday. I was in my 2x sweatshirt since it was a bit chilly. Still, when I looked at the picture, what struck me is I looked like most other people and would easily fit into a crowd without standing out because of my size. I also would be just as happy to stand in the front row instead of hiding in the back, which is what I would have done in the past. I’m still smiling this morning Happy Monday. Let’s make it an amazing week!
2/22- 193.2 (-4.2) Brrrr! It’s cold here in Colorado. Tuesday is usually my day to swim. I think I’ll move my swim day to tomorrow. Just a couple errands and I’m in for the day and planning to spend time in my studio, painting away.
2/23- 193.2 (-4.2) Still cold here today, but I am going to swim. This week I will have my indulgence meal. Probably tomorrow, so I’ll have a bit of a bump on our last day. Feeling great and counting down to spring.11 -

Day/Weight/Comment
2/16: 142.4 - We had a belated Valentine’s Day dinner last night. I made cioppino and a honey-almond tart. I needed every minute of exercise to fit this all in to my calories for the day.
2/17: 142.2 - Same workout and meals as yesterday. Good sleep.
2/18: 142.2 - Did interval training for my workout plus a walk. Ate within calories and still finishing leftovers.
2/19: 142.0 - Another interval training set and a short walk. Calories and carbs high, but within goals.
2/20: 142.0 - Normal workout, normal eating, okay sleep.
2/21: 140.7 - Whoosh! I have now lost over 30 pounds since I started back on this journey on Sep 7, 2021. I’m also pretty sure this is the lowest I’ve weighed since having kids (they are now 29 and 26). I did my normal exercises and ate okay, but did do some snacking. I think I didn’t drink as much water as I should have and felt dehydrated this morning when I woke up. I suspect I’ll see a bump up tomorrow. Did not sleep well.
2/22: 141.1 - Normal workout, eating at the high end of the calorie range. Slept well.
2/23: 141.1 - Later workout, at at the low end of the calorie range, and slept well.

2/21- 216.4 - well I’m back at it again. I need to stay motivated. I tried on bridesmaid dresses and that was embarrassing.. I just need to keep thinking of that moment for motivation
2/22- 213.2 - not an accurate dip. I barely slept 2 nights ago so I think my starting weight might be off. I was exhausted so I had a salad for lunch and was asleep till morning before dinner.
2/23- 211.6 - first week woosh is always encouraging!

SW: 371.4 (5500 step goal, goal to lose 2 to 3 lbs. each challenge, go to bed by 11:30, no eating out more than once every 10-day challenge)
Day/Weight/Comment (previous day steps)
2/16 369.4 – 5935 steps. Happy about the loss and being in a new decade also. Now to maintain it. When I get into a new decade it takes a minute to stick it firmly. I increased step goal from 5100 to 5500.
2/17 369.4 – 5680 steps. Too many carbs yesterday but within calories and it was clean carbs. Short walk. I signed up for 6000 step challenge on MFP so I will see how many days I can hit 6000 steps. It is not out of my range especially on the days I go to the office which is 2 days a week.
2/18 367.8 – 6088 steps. I did a workout yesterday and ate well. I had a planned lunch with a friend today. We picked a healthy friendly restaurant. Hard to count calories. So, I estimated. I enjoyed it. This is the 2nd time I have went to a restaurant since the Pandemic started. We went at 11 before lunch crowd. It had a grill and instead of all you can eat grill I ordered from the menu which was better, and my friend followed my lead even though I knew she wanted to go up. I did it for calories and did not want to go up with others who were in line. Ordering from menu does not lend itself to overeating. I had half of it left which I will eat Saturday or Sunday. I think I am going to eat it Sunday depending on my weight tomorrow because of sodium. No chance to drink a lot of water because when I am out and about, I do not drink water because I do not like using public restrooms. I had errands and visited my Dad in the nursing home and it was a long day which is good to burn those calories! 2/19 369.0 – 8225 steps. This was expected. I am ok with it; I had a great time yesterday and I stayed in the 360’s. I will be drinking my water today and try to get in a good workout.
2/20 369.0 – 7117 steps.
2/21 369.0 – 4623 steps.
2/22 367.4 – 4846 steps. I am surprised by drop. I am going to get in a DVD today. Unfortunately, I am back at work. So happy to be going in the right direction. Since I am doing the MFP challenge for 6000 steps, I am bumping my steps up to 6000.
2/23 365.4 – 6508 steps. Happy dance! This is interesting. I have been eating more and I have been losing. Still within calories with exercise calories. But since I have been eating back more of the movement calories, I have been losing more. I try not to eat more unless I am hungry. When I do, I eat clean calories and I really think sticking to less process foods and no eating out more than once every 10 days is helping. When I had my bypass surgery in 2004, I went 3 years with no fast foods and when I went to a restaurant, I made good choices and that is what I want to get back to. That is what I will get back to! Now that I am looking at macros and calories, I can really analyze my protein, carbs, sugar, etc. And I could not do that with points. WW got me in the right mindset with sleep, movement, etc but the points is a gimmick that hides too much for me and let people who really have a problem with food eat too much. So, for me it does not work like it does for others. I am very thankful for my time with WW because I needed that. Now I am ready! I have not been in the 360’s in ages! I don’t know how to act! Thank you all for your support! I never forgot about this group…. because I always weighed most day since 2003 before I had my surgery. My surgeon’s nurse encouraged me to start doing it and it was very educational and I do believe if I had been doing it, I would never have gotten to over 600 pounds. I immediately started losing weight from just weighing every day before my surgery. I just didn’t have enough confidence to try to lose all the weight without the surgery. But I refuse to have another surgery and I believe I can do it because my tool still works and I do have the belief I can do this now. Thanks again.

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.12
