2/27 125.0 Sorry I’ve been MIA lately. Posting every day got hard to fit in and then I felt like I just needed a break from posting each day. My tracking has been good but my body is fighting back with crazy water retention this week from my new strength routine and where I’m at in my cycle. Gotta love a double whammy. At the beginning of the week I was like 120ish and this morning I was 125. Craziness. Hoping it drops soon. My husband and I went to the gym this morning and I did an hour on the lateral elliptical for some low impact cardio. I’m hoping to see a whoosh this week at some point. Dinner tonight will be roasted butternut squash and London broil steak. I hope everyone is doing well!
3/1 122.8 Did 60 minutes of cardio this morning. 30 minutes on the elliptical and 30 minutes of uphill walking on the treadmill. I was going to run but I kept getting a weird cramp in my hip area so I walked instead and it didn’t bother me.

New round, new attitude. My internist has moved on to other things, so I have a new-patient appointment with another doctor in the same practice in late July. That’s 20 weeks, and I’d like to be down 15-20 pounds by then. With weather warming up for more walks, getting back to serious tracking with my pup (lots of walking!), getting back to garden work, and eating more veggies, fewer snacks, it should be doable. Please kick my butt if I make more excuses!

Yesterday was a good day, and today is planned. It’s soup day! I’m making Savannah Beans & Greens soup from the Moosewood vegetarian cookbook. I’ve never made it before, but it sounds yummy. Have a lovely Sunday, all!

☘️🌷🌱🌹☘️ March! It’s meteorological Spring! The birds are very busy around my nesting boxes this morning—mostly sparrows, but I have seen a pair of bluebirds inspecting a box I protect for them. Yesterday I ordered a hydrangea I’ve been wanting for two years, and four more climbing roses. I always get the gardening itch way too early, but I may do a little pruning and pull some vines off trellises. Have a great day!

2/26- 195.8 (+.2) I was thinking this morning about the bounces, and ups and downs, in this weight loss journey. My bounces up are way lower than where they used to be and that brings a big smile to my face. I tried on some of the clothes in my closet. Several shirts and jackets were added to the donate pile. I’m fitting into some of my Large sized shirts. So exciting! I swam a mile in the pool yesterday and spent time working on a large painting that will be donated to raise funds for pediatric brain cancer. It’s one of the biggest I’ve done and I have a short time frame to finish. Almost there. Life is crazy busy developing new ideas and paintings. I wouldn’t have it any other way. Okay…maybe I’d add losing weight just a little faster.
2/27- 194.4 (-1.2) I had lunch with friends yesterday that I hadn’t seen in over a year. I tried to be smart about my choices, but did eat more than I should. Today I’m walking with my sister and the dogs. It’s going to be really nice this week weather wise. I’m looking forward to being out more.
2/28- 194.2 (-1.4) Swimming today. February included my maintenance break. I’m down 2.8 pounds for the month, which is a bit disappointing. But, down is down and considering a third of the month was in maintainance, that’s not too bad. It was interesting looking back at the journey since I got serious. June: -16.1# July: -6.2# August: -6.8#, September: -11.6# October: -8.2# November: -6.2# December: -7.2# January: -5.8# I track on the Happy Scale app. It’s nice to be able to see the big picture when I get discouraged.
3/1- 193.0 (-2.6) Yay! A new low. My next mini-goal is to get into the 180’s. This will be challenging because I’m heading to an art class in Texas in a few days with several friends. We plan to walk each day, but I’m not going to be so strict on eating, so I’m expecting a bit of a bounce. Still, the 180’s are in my future. If not this round, then the next one.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/25 …..198.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
02/26 …..196.2 ….. (Trend weight 196.2) Off to a good start with a better day yesterday. Good luck everyone meeting your dietary and/or fitness goals this round. I love reading all the updates!
02/27 …..197.0 ….. Trend weight 196.4) A horrible night of mini binge after mini binge. Absolutely eating my emotions over a bad behavior I displayed and should not have. Eating my guilt over spoken words and actions that were beneath me. Today I will make amends and hope for the best. I woke up starving from such late night eating. No TMI. No sleep last night. Full of remorse paired with my guilt. God has been good to me, I should be better to others and watch my temper and wicked mouth!
02/28 …..198.2 ….. (Trend weight 196.5) Wow! A huge jump and I’m not sure why. Light breakfast, no lunch and chili for dinner. ½ bowl because it was so FILLING! Hardly any sleep again due to grandson’s early wake-up time. I will be extra thoughtful today. I will NOT hit 200 again.
03/01 …..196.6 ….. (Trend weight 196.5) Same breakfast as yesterday, no lunch again and chili for dinner, ½ bowl because it was so FILLING again! Low sleep due to grandson again. Same snack. Instead of 1.2 lb gain I had a 1.6 lb loss. The road is confusing, the journey can be strange. Keeping your eye on the prize is essential. I’m working on another good day.

Hello Everyone 🙂
After way too long I'm working at logging in daily again. This round's goal is to meet every exercise goal regardless of my schedule. I'll be in situations that won't be friendly to my plan but I'll find a way to improvise.
Day/Weight/Comment
2/26 164.0lbs
Today's plan is to stick to my calorie and exercise goals. While carbs matter more for me than most, I should be fine as long as I stick to eating at home.
2/27 163.0lbs
I'm lacking motivation since last night when I took yet another emotional gut punch. Although not a complete surprise, this was instigated by someone who should know better. Today is one of those days when as a reminder to myself, I'll repeatedly declare out loud that I must never allow anyone to steal my joy.
Dinner was touch and go but I did right by myself and skipped it in favor of a small snack. While I was not hungry I came close to ordering out which would have lead to over eating; blowing up my carb count; and waking to self loathing.
After that gut punch I also completed the day's workout. Given I was already half way though my plan, I could have said enough for today. However, this was not a rest day for any of my routines. Caring for myself is a big part of my joy so skipping a routine was no option. Instead I added a little extra.
Keeping with this mind set today
--I weighed myself and posted this accountability challenge first
--Next comes exercise and body measurements
--Followed by aggressively tackling a long over due and critical to do list before the open items blow up my life
It's easy to let external influences stop personal progress. It's hard to keep working at your goals when negative influences result in feeling emotionally raw. However, to neglect oneself in the aftermath is a form of self harm. Today I'm taking care of myself by moving on so that emotional gut punch heals. No one can ever take my joy without my consent.
.
2/28 161.2lbs
The app would not co-operate yesterday. Login okay but message boards inaccessible. It took a minute but I'm back and posting a day late.
Far too little protein and far too many carbs in Sunday. Calories are too low but that's not a problem. The average will work out over time.
This is a rest day for all workouts. I'll need to revise my exercise schedule. I have a few side routines for target training but I'm not sure I like it. By mid week I'll have a new plan.
3/01 162.2lbs
I need to update my food diary but calorie average is under control despite carbs being out of control. Today's weight reflects carb bloating, my normal pattern when I get near carbs.
There is still bullshoot trying to cloud my world. Thank God I have my head on straight. No more allowing bullshoot to knock me off my game. There will always be obstacles. Few are real. I can always behave in the best interest of my health.

2/26-169-Long day in the car yesterday, so not much water. Was gone for a couple of days, but made wise food choices. I want to get a walk and horse ride in today and DH wants to go fishing.
3/1-171-Big weekend of eating and it hasn’t gotten any better. I’ve been transplanting my seedlings I’ve sprouted and we had frost while I was gone. The ones in the ground did fine. Those in containers, sitting out in the open are dead. We have another cold night coming up....10 -

Starting weight (round 179): 228
Day/Weight/Comment
2/26: 228 (I was 226 the day before (2/25) and ate super salty food that day to wake up to this weight on top of not drinking enough water and I had dairy which bloats me so bad. This was - Saturday- and we went to my Pawpaw's house for deer chili. It was so yummy )
2/27: 226 (Back to my lowest weight in a little bit. We just woke up and have plans of hanging out with a friend painting in a few hours, having coffee, for dinner I am planning on making cajun shrimp and asparagus or broccoli. Might go for a walk if the weather permits. I also plan on focusing on my water intake today and on fruits and veggies in my snacks.)
2/28: 225 (The day has barely begun and I've got my coffee and muesli on my desk. Planning on a short walk on my lunch break! We ended up not having shrimp and asparagus last night, but I was able to grab a salad where we ate out thankfully!)
3/01: 226 (Yesterday we had a birthday celebration with my mother-in-law and has a lot of salty/carby foods, but it was so yummy and I don't regret any of it. A great birthday dinner for her. Today I am still focusing on water and nutrition.)

Day/Weight/Comment
2/26 ~ 200.2. Went on a 7.5k walk and out for dinner was wondering if my sodium intake would be too high but I seemed to fair ok. Happy Saturday!!
2/27 ~ 199.4 I was busy in the day and the weather was terrible here so I decided to go walk the 2 largest Supermarkets to get my steps in. It worked! Hit steps and activity.
2/28 ~ 198.9 Steps and activity good. Focusing on hitting my calorie range and hitting my Fats (macros), I tend to look at calories and slight my fats so I am trying to get balanced. I am dropping fairly fast so I am over estimating but that can be because SO is home and I figure he is over using the olive oil. ... Let's bring on March!!

Day/Weight/Comment
2/26: 141.5 - Had a fun dinner party at our house last night with some old work friends. Did get my workout in at the start of my day and was running around all day getting everything prepped. I decided to stop counting calories after I pre-logged and even the most minimal of servings of what I made put me over the goal. This next week I will have to work hard to get back down to where I ended the last round, just in time to travel and eat out the last few days of the round.
2/27: 141.3 - Although I’ve been exercising and getting a lot of move points on my Apple Watch, I’m disappointed in myself the last 2 nights of late night eating. Totally within my control, but need to stop it. What the two evenings have in common were that my eating patterns were out of the norm. Night 1 was the dinner party - fine to go over calories, but really no need to keep eating after the guests have left. Last night was a hockey game - ate dinner early and had a lot of calories left to meet goal. Guess what I did at 10pm? I recognize the issue, but don’t yet quite have my habit/strategy in place to combat it every time.
2/28: 140.2 - Yay! Back to where I ended the last round. Focused on my calories yesterday. Did my normal workout plus a 3.5 mile walk. Good sleep.
3/1: 140.4 - Interval workout and a short walk. Normal eating, a little high on carbs/fat. Slept well.

Me I only have time for one and making time for this one is a challenge....lol But I make the time because it benefits me and it helps the group also. Welcome back!! Never give up! Take it one day at a time and forgive yourself.....none of us are perfect and never will be,,,

@nicoles0305 I have started snacking in the evening when I hear my husband rooting around in the kitchen. Bad habit to start!!

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.

2/26 118.5 In-n-Out Flying Dutchman seemed really salty to me but salt doesn’t usually make me gain. 🤷♀️
2/27 119.5 (No TMI x 2?) Sewing day today and low carb snacky lunch.
2/28 119.5 Somewhat productive sewing day. Enough other movement that I didn’t end up with a headache due to arthritis in my neck. DD#2 was there, I took her home after. DGD#3 came down to hug me and I felt DGGB#1 move - 21 weeks down, 19 to go. Art Quilts, etc this morning and I’m off!

SW: 280
Ended Round 178 at 263.6 which was 0.2 up from round 177. I had three rest days and TOM during the round so I understand the bump. Looking forward to a downward trend for round 179.
Goals: consistency and dedication. My motivation is gone so I just need consistency to keep me going.
2/26 - 264.8 - Down 15.2 pounds - I had a really heavy dinner last night Homemade tacos. Worth every calorie. I still worked out and I am still proud of my progress.
2/27 - 264.4 - Down 15.6 pounds - I volunteered at a health fair yesterday and it was intense. Tons of walking and sweating. I eventually abandoned my post and got to participate in several rounds of Zumba 💃🏾
2/28 - 264.2 - Down 15.8 pounds - Looks like the effects of TOM are dissipating, finally! I wanted to be 259 by 2/28, but with 3 rest days and TOM so close to the end of the month it just didn't work out. Hoping to hit the 250's either this round or next. Side note: I understand now why you shouldn't shop when hungry. I went into the store to buy lasagna noodles, bananas, and carrots. I ended buying all of that plus a bunch of snacks yesterday. Loving those low cal ice creams. Brownie fudge something. The whole pint is 480 calories. I ate about half of it lol. I also got salt and vinegar kettle chips and veggie straws. I basically ate 1 real meal which was homemade tacos and then a bunch of junk plus it was rest day. I don't know how I'm seeing a loss on the scale. super excited to start my new workout program today. Turbo Fire. I've been craving some fun cardio. I did this program several years ago and I lost a lot of weight. Hoping for the same, but better since I have more control of my nutrition.
3/1 - 262.2 - Down 17.8 pounds - I am so super excited to write this post today. I now understand how TOM affects my weight on the scale. I've dropped all the pounds gained just like that. So happy! I did start a new workout program yesterday which is heavy on the cardio, but it's also more on par with my activity level so I can push a little harder. So proud of myself. It's a 90 day program so I expect that I will see great transformation in my body over the next 3 months. Really excited for the results.

Day/Weight/Comment
2/26 / 176 / This is a new low weight for me. I am 8 pounds away from the original goal I set to lose 125 pounds. At 168, I will be in my normal BMI range. It's funny because it's SO close after the distance I've travelled but mentally it sorta feels far yet. One day at a time, am I right? So thankful to be walking this journey with all of you.
2/27 / 175.8 / We had a great day yesterday. We drove up north with friends for dog grooming and brunch. My husband and I went to the movies at night. Got a good lower body strength day and walk fit in between the two events.
2/28 / 177.2 / Huge day of exercise today... first we snowshoed for 1.5 hours, then we did a nature walk of just over 40 minutes, and I finished the day with 60 minutes on the Peloton and a 5 minute stretch. The weather was so amazing!
3/1 / 176.4 / Busy day yesterday but I got in my 10K steps. I am starting to get the house ready for company as my dad is flying in later this week. Work is also busy and we went out at night to see one more of the Best Picture nominees for the Oscars.

2/28 249.4 This weekend was incredibly hectic. Saturday was all meals on the road, and I wasn’t particularly thoughtful about what I ate, so I was not surprised to be up today. At any rate, all meals are planned and logged for today, and I’m making sure to get all my water.
3/1 249.6 I should have learned by now that I’m going to bounce around for a while after a few big drops. So we’re bouncing! Challenging catered lunch today at the office, but stuck with salad and chicken. And a couple of small squares of chocolate cheesecake found their way onto my plate and have been tracked (and eaten). 😊

Net change 2022 = SW 380.0 EW 373.0 (-14.6) Overall goal: 10-15 lbs.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. 11
