With guests in the house, I could not get to the scale on Sunday morning. I didn’t try very hard because Saturday was such a food festival! Yesterday too.
So, I thought this morning would be a shock and awe reading. I can’t explain the results. Tomorrow may be the day it catches up with me.
3/01: 213.8 yup. The good news is I see a small ray of actual motivation over the horizon.
3/02: 213.2
I have to admit disappointment here. Frankly I think I am still paying the piper for the past weekend. (and December and January for that matter.)

Thanks @quiltingjaine I love bold color and the looseness that comes with whimsical paintings. Who knew my second career would be as a full time working artist? Life is great!!

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 maintenance, 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 on Sunday 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.
3/2- 193.2 (-2.4) Another busy creative day ahead. Swimming twice a week is causing damage to my hair…all that chlorine. My hair stylist suggested a cap and shampoo designed for swimmers. There is a down side to exercise in the pool. Next time I go, I’ll totally soak down my hair before I jump in and in the meantime, find a cute swimming cap with lots of personality.9 -

2/26- 189.4 I made sushi for dinner last night, let my daughter’s request. Of course that meant more carbs than usual. I’m annoyed by the uptick on the scale but know it’s just the carbs. Otherwise, I did okay with food. Today I’m determined to do better. 110 net carbs and step goal hit.
2/27- 191.2 This was my doing this time- it was treat night last night. Right around 100 net carbs all day, Pelo ride done, and step goal hit! I’m ready to put my nose to the grind stone and do the work this week though.
2/28- 190.2 86 net carbs and step goal hit. I’m determined to make some progress this week!
3/1- 188.0 Nice drop! I don’t know what has been going on lately, but it had been a struggle for a while, feeling like I was struggling to control my eating. Yesterday though, was the total opposite, and I’m glad! 71 net carbs and step goal hit.
3/2- 189.0 I had a great day yesterday, so no idea why the uptick. My guess is the Pelo ride? 85 net carbs, step goal hit, and Pelo ride done.8 -

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.
3/02 161.2lbs
I've been weighing different times of day under varying conditions because the ultimate goal is to stay consistently below 140lbs. Hopefully I'll become less focused on the scale moving and more focused on long term consistency.
Calories are better than I thought once I logged the total for each day. No extra calories but the nutrition portion yet to be logged is high carb, low protein, and everything I don't need. That's what happens when I order in for convenience. Options are limited when I don't want to pick up. Home cooked meals are always healthiest.
Exercise is still under review but I'm moving. A plan is preferred but what matters most is doing something daily. I'm back to regular cardio, strength & flexibility. A defined routine will follow.

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!
3/1 119.0 1/2 Greek salad for dinner w/steak for dinner yesterday’s OMAD after 20 hour IF, tonight burgers (from the grill) and veg.

Previous days2/263/2 123 Strength workout completed this morning along with the interval session at the end and did an extra 10 minutes to make the running portion of my workout a full 5k. A nonscale victory was completing more push-ups than my previous workout. The hardest thing to develop for me is my forearm strength. I know I could lift more weight but my forearms don’t want to cooperate but maybe that slower progress will keep me from inadvertently injuring myself. Also, I got takeout last night for dinner but instead of getting something super salty/high calorie, I opted to try a Thai papaya salad with chicken and an order of chicken satay. The salad was so yummy and refreshing! Then, I had a skyr yogurt for dessert and a little extra protein.
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!
2/28 Checked in on mobile
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.

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. Get my spring vegetable seeds in the ground! Can’t believe we will be well and truly into March during this round.

2/27 work 3/3. I have an interview as for a nursing supervisor job at the hospital near me tomorrow.. hope that goes well! I don’t know if I have enough experience for the position but I’m glad they are giving me an interview. Doenjang chigae for dinner tonight. Protein: 141
2/28 First new low I’ve seen in a while. I interviewed for the supervisor position today and think it went well. The thought of going somewhere new and learning new people while also learning a leadership role is a bit scary, but I know I could handle it and it would be a step forward professionally. I knew I didn’t want to stay bedside for very long, so no point in dragging my feet. They still have another person to interview anyway. Lots of activity today. Push-up/pull across, squat clean workout this morning. Long walk in nice weather this afternoon. Leg day for strength. Hit another PR on squats.. 235 for sets of 4. Dal makhani for dinner.

3/1 141.7 Another low. I’ve been debating how much lower I want to go and how long I want to maintain before doing some bulking/cutting cycles. I’ll probably give it another 5-10 lbs. Did a rowing and deadlift workout this morning. Enjoyed the nice weather with my family this afternoon. Push day for strength.. more PR’s! Bench pressed 125 for sets of 2. I’m quite chuffed with how many lifting gains I’ve made while cutting this time. In the past when I’ve cut I’ve felt noticeably weaker even when under the direction of a fitness focused RD. I think it’s been helpful to faithfully follow a structured lifting program (previously I was doing CrossFit with a side of strength programming, versus now strength programming with a side of “CrossFit” style workouts). Plus I’ve been a lot more flexible on my calorie intake. I have a few months of data to work with and my Apple Watch TDEE seems bang on. So, today, I ate 2,100 calories, but that still gives me ~200 calorie deficit for the day. Previous cuts I would stick strictly to the 1600 goal (or whatever it was set at) regardless of my activity and feel hungry all the time. Anyway, I’m getting results and it feels really good.

Hey! I just wanted to say this is encouraging for me now that I'm following an actual strength program (Strong by Alwyn Cosgrove and Lou Shouler) and in a similar weight range (goal is 115 for being 5'2") when taking height into consideration. I've been trying to stay in at least 200-300 calorie deficit each day and know that I'll see results soon enough with the numbers as soon as the post-strength workout water weight gain wanes over the next month or so.5 -

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. 😊
3/2 248.4 I guess this constitutes a whoosh. Hubby and I officially joined a fitness center and I went to work out last night for the first time. Walking and elliptical with no knee pain – such a relief! Plus upcoming consultations with their RD and personal training staff.

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!
3/02 - 177.8
I’ve finally pulled my watercolors out of the closet and yesterday I made the sketch for a painting which I’ll start today. It’s been too long! @coblujay your cute paintings helped push me along! 🎨 I feel like I need a class schedule type date book and some stick-to-it-iveness to fit in the things I want to do (and used to do!) with regularity—writing new book, painting, training my pup for competition, long walks with said pup, trying new knitting techniques, reading, gardening soon, keeping up relationships with friends…. How did I used to get so much done? Isolation has made me lazy and undisciplined (and heavier!). Anyway, spring always energizes me—more light!—so I’m hoping to pick up the pace. Being busier will help me get the weight back off, too.

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!!
3/1 ~ 198.7 ... 11,000 and 62 minutes. Hit calories and upped fats.
3/2 ~ 198.8 ...13,500 and 94 min. Unplanned dinner out with oldest son. Went on a short walk around town while waiting for them to meet us. Hit fats for sure. Happy Hump Day!!

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.
03/02 …..197.4 ….. (Trend weight 196.4) Late night snacks were over the top and just too much at once and at all. Well problems again today even with the new well pump. The pump was kicking on & off quickly when using water and grinding somewhat. Sounded bad and I knew it wasn’t right. I called the well company back and they said my bladder must be bad. I had a new one put in about a year ago but they said it is definitely bad. The hardware store ones (home depot etc) are just not good. Also, of course, they cannot warranty any but their own. They said they would give me a break and do it for $900.00. That will be between 3 and 4 thousand total on a too small well that will need to be replaced at some point. Why me? Did I stress eat last night or just crave eat? I dunno.

2/28 175.2 I've lost almost 4 lbs! After over a YEAR of steadily gaining, this feels great! Obviously, way too soon to see or feel a difference, which is why daily weigh-ins are so helpful. That said, oops totally missed my weigh-in alarm yesterday! It'll be a habit soon.
3/1 175.6 Counting this as holding steady. I'm just really proud of myself for not stress eating during such stressful times (doomscrolling constantly)!
3/2 177 It's fine. When I was in this group last time, I plotted my trend weight for well over a year and it taught me that while I should absolutely celebrate an overnight 1.5 lb loss, I should NOT despair over an overnight 1.5 lb gain. The daily fluctuations smooth out over time and there will be a downward trend as long as I keep sticking to my plan!

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.
3/2 - 261.8 - Down 18.2 pounds - Feeling good. I'm really enjoying my new workout program. 5 days left and so hoping to get into the 250's.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

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.
3/2 / 176.2 / My brother arrived last night so we had dinner at my Mom's house. We each got take-out but my husband and I picked a different restaurant that fit into our needs a bit better. I also retested my FTP on the Peloton yesterday and I've made some great gains there. Feels awesome.

I've learnt a lot of lessons this week. I've been very slack for a good few days with no tracking, eating badly, and no movement. I had a big night on the town on Saturday night which ultimately derailed me off my awesome habits I was starting to form. The lesson - no more big nights like that. I used to be such a party girl in my 20s, but in my 30s I just cannot bounce back within a day. Which takes the fun out of the whole thing and doesn't make it worth it. I also felt disappointed with myself because I went in with a plan - have a few drinks, leave by midnight. My friend had other ideas, and I think with the new freedoms after a looooong lockdown I craved some dancing and people - it was actually like a dream, it felt quite strange. So I shouldn't be so hard on myself, and I've gotten it out of my system now. Aside from not losing any weight and putting a few 100 grams back on, my skin has looked terrible. It instantly aged me. And I haven't been sleeping as well. It's definitely not just about losing the KGs for me. Here's to getting back on the horse!! 🎉🎉

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.
3/2: 140.4 - Interval workout and a short walk. Normal eating.

2/27 365.4 – 6881 steps. The bump up was expected. It happens and today is a new day. I enjoyed my splurge and back on track today.
2/28 366.2 – 6234 steps. The bump was expected again, and weekend is over. It was a great weather weekend too! I saw my Dad both days. He was in a better mood yesterday which is good. Today is a new day and Monday!
3/01 365.0 – 6319 steps. I finally got back on track yesterday and I did a Leslie Sansone DVD.
3/02 368.4 – 4283 steps. I ate out yesterday and had some very salty chips. I can’t say I was really satisfied with it either, so it was a wasted splurge indeed. I was WAY over my calories yesterday. I got to get it together today and the rest of this week!

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. 8 -

3/02 - 148.4 - Hi, I'm back. Ish. I did weigh yesterday, but my scale won't connect so I reset it today. We are moved in. This weekend we will finalize cleaning rental house. Unfortunately yesterday I was told I'm being moved from Reliability engineer to a Plant engineer. I did NOT want to do that. So now I'm searching for a new job. Ugh. This new position starts Monday and it's an in-person only option. I'm on call 7 days a week, including holidays and potentially vacations (good luck! my vacations are almost always water-related and that computer won't work there). Still unpacking and getting things situated. May be hit or miss, but now I have my computer (somehow laptop and charging cable got packed separate so I finally found both) and internet, it'll make it easier to check in. I've missed you all!

3/2 - 235.6 - I ordered a new scale, mine is over 10 years old and I just cant believe I have gone down .2 pounds every day for a week. It should be delivered tomorrow evening, so the 4th might be a completely different number. Today I went a little over my carbs and calories so I am expecting a jump up tomorrow, but I know I didn't go above enough to actually gain, so I wont worry about water weight.

@playhardkf2017 Wishing you success with your goals! It’s been a relatively slow process for me with the smaller deficit but I think it’s been worth it to make lifting gains and feel energized while also losing fat. Keep us updated!2
