Round 177 end weight 265
2/16: 263.4 - Down 16.6 pounds - Victory! The final days of round 177 were so confusing. I was consistently gaining weight for a few days, and then on the last day I was finally back down. So glad to be starting round 178 strong
2/17 - 262.6 - Down 17.4 pounds - Whoop whoop! I'm so proud of myself. Yesterday was the end of my 4 week challenge to eat right and workout daily. I lost 10.8 pounds! Wow. I'm hoping to keep this trend going and try to lose as much as possible before TOM. I'm still basking in the glow of being consistent for 4 whole weeks. I've never done that before. I finish a 3 week workout program today. I'll be taking the weekend to rest, and then on to a new program on Monday.
2/18 - 262.2 - Down 17.8 pounds - Yesterday was Day 21 of 21 in my workout program. First time ever finishing a workout program. So proud of myself. I have been struggling this last week because my body was so tired from the 21 days of exercise. I think all programs should have a mandatory rest day. Those active rest days with Yoga and Pilates are a joke. Those workouts are tough. I am so glad to have three whole days for my muscles to rest and recover. I still might do some walking around the neighbor hood and/or stretching. One of my long term goals is to become really flexible, and maybe even do a split. lol. :D:D
2/19 - 262.8 - Down 17.2 pounds - I had the most glorious rest day yesterday. No walking or stretching just laundry, and I will spend the next two days resetting my home. Back to working out on Monday.
2/20 - 263 - Down 17 pounds - I did so much cleaning yesterday. Church today was awesome. Last rest day. I’m treating myself to steak with Mac n cheese. Hopefully I can get off the couch to make it.
2/21 - 262.4 - Down 17.6 pounds - I had the steak and Mac n cheese and it was awesome. I didn’t eat all of the steak and I had leftover Mac so mamas having leftovers for dinner. Super surprised and grateful that I didn’t gain any weight on my rest days. Starting a pretty tough 6 day program so pumping myself up for my workout in a few.
2/22 - 263 - Down 17 pounds - I indulged with dinner last night I'm assuming that's why I'm up a little. I also started my 6 day workout program. Feeling very strong. Lighter on my feet. I'm able to climb more stairs. Feeling good.
2/23 - 263.4 - Down 16.6 pounds - I think I'm up because of this exercise program. 6 days of tough work. The program is way harder than my current fitness level, but I like to do it after each completed program to see if I'm stronger. I'm getting in a good sweat, heart pumping, and a lot work with the weights. I notice that when I am super sore the scale doesn't move or goes up. I was really hoping to get to 259 by the end of February, but at this rate I don't think it's going to happen. Still happy to see I am making progress and feeling great.
2/24 - 263.2 - Down 16.8 pounds - TOM has arrived. So glad to still be in the low 260's. I'm hoping to be 262 or 261 tomorrow and as close to 259 as possible on 2/28. Still putting in hard work with my exercise programs and nutrition.
2/25 - 263.6 - Down 16.4 pounds - TOM ruins everything. LOL. I ate right and even did extra cardio which I hate. I can't even imagine what would be on the scale if I didn't do the extra cardio.
Up 0.2 pounds for this round. I had three rest days plus TOM so I really can't be mad at this slight increase. Looking forward to major progress in the next couple of rounds.10 -

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.

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.
2/24- 195.2 (-2.2) I had my indulgence meal last night. It was fabulous. This weight will drop right off. No organized exercise today, just focusing on finishing my taxes.
2/25- 195.6 (-1.8) Bump still from my indulgence meal. I’ve also been really busy and off my routine. So I ate later than usual last night and didn’t get enough water. It will drop off over the next few days. I’m working on some really fun and challenging projects, so I’ll need to figure out how to stay on track on those busy days.

2/16 ~ 203.5 *12,600 steps. 84 mins active. lunch+. dinner+ (from yesterday, to post in the am)
2/17 ~ 203.8 *10,400 steps/ 59 minutes active (hmmm should have looked at that. L+ D+. Had a hair appointment last night so didn't get to push myself. No worries.
2/18 ~ 203.7 *14,000 steps/ 105 active/ lunch+dinner+. Happy Friday! Hoping for a hike this weekend.
2/19 ~ 203.4. * 13,000 steps /74 min active/ Lunch ✔️ Dinner was a salad at Wendys after Costco trip. Big walk/ hike today I hope. Enjoy your Saturday!
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 .
2/24 ~ 200.8 *10,000/67 min. Just minimum effort here, have the next 3 days off but will be working on finishing our bathroom renos. Includes driving out of town to look at options. So I might not get my big walks in, will see.
2/25 ~ 200.5 *16,100/ 118 min. Had a great 10 days. Looking forward to see a ‘1’ out front real soon.5 -
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.
2/24 365.4 – 6022 steps. I am still geeked about maybe losing 6 pounds this round! I splurged a little today, but I still should be under calories. I still did good at grocery store but could have done better I am getting ready to log it. I usually pre-log and then adjust as needed.
2/25 365.4 – 6773 steps. I will see Everyone in the next round…Thanks for support and great job! If you didn’t do as well as you wanted to, keep pressing and never give up. It is not an option.
Total lost this round: (-6.0)

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.6 -

Day/Weight/Comment
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!
2/24- DNW
2/25- 213- had a girls night and getting back into the groove. Hoping most will fall off because I didn’t think I did that bad.
Round loss: 3.4

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

2/21 visitors left this morning.. nice to have them around, but ate way too much. More or else stuck with my training and hit a couple PRs. I designated an edge of my vegetable garden to be an asparagus patch and my dad helped me build a divider to keep it from spreading. It put me in the mood for gardening! We are supposed to get some ice later this week though.. so hopefully in the next couple of weeks I’ll have my spring vegetable seeds in the ground. Push day for strength. Broccoli dal with seitan for dinner. Expecting a scale bump after all the carbs this weekend. I didn’t even bother weighing since I knew it was carb city. Protein: 163
2/22 work 1/1. Roasted cauliflower and potato with a bell pepper sauce and tofu for dinner. It was really good. Protein: 123
2/23 icy weather, but I didn’t have to go anywhere. Way too cold in the garage to do a traditional workout, so I brought in some dumbbells and did a couple apple workouts. It’s always nice to change things up a little. I bet I’m sore tomorrow even though what I did today used a lot less weight since it was different from usual. Plus I shoveled the driveway. Kimchi stew for dinner. Protein: 138
2/24 another icy day. Changing up the workouts made me so sore even though it was less work and lighter weights! I probably should be throwing those in every once in a while just to change up the stimulus. Even though the weights I typically use are heavier I don’t hold the weight for the entire time like the apple fitness strength workouts have you do. Good grip training! Roasted carrot and lentil salad with tofu. Protein: 132

2/25 / 176.6 / Proud of myself yesterday as I had a super busy day and was out for sushi supper so my workout got pushed but I still got on the bike and rode before bed. I definitely prefer morning workouts but as my life gets back to normal I need to learn ways to fit it in however I can.
I'm with you @ashleycarole86 on trying to get workouts done in the morning. I had a few days this week that my workouts got pushed to the late afternoon (because...life), and I felt like I was behind all day and running out of time to get my move points in.3 -
Goal: No more than 50 g added sugar daily, move in some way that feels good

2/22 178.8 Just getting started and I'm encouraged! Yesterday was the first day in a looong time that I stuck to what I prelogged and got most of my water in. This week is all about building a new momentum of success in achieving small, attainable goals. Sugar has been my undoing, so I'm watching added sugar grams closely now and I'm sure it'll make a huge difference!
2/23 177.2 Excited to see this tiny scrap of progress! We ordered tacos and I'd prelogged dinner when I saw my husband had added churros to the order. My weakness! But I cut one in half, logged the calories *first* (new strategy for me) and ate those few bites without guilt. Today's small loss feels like a reward for sticking to my plan.
2/24 177.2 Just a couple of days in, I'm watching my sugar and feeling in control —adopting new habits is way more important than what the scale says right now!
2/25 177.6 Not bad for less than half a round, I'll take it! Even if it's water weight (likely), it's encouraging to see the scale moving in the right direction. Extra proud of myself for getting through this turbulent week without stress eating as I've been glued to the news nonstop!
