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.
3/3: 140.4 - Holding steady. I'll get a workout in today before getting in a car for 5 hours.

I'll take a push. Did an extra walk yesterday. Have today off work so planning to hit the gym hard and then have an adventure. Weather will be beautiful today and I'm not spending it inside!

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....
3/2-DNW-Cooked a turkey.
3/3-170-Made turkey soup. I am experimenting with the turkey from what I read on another thread......you cook the turkey, take all of the meat off of the bones, and place meat in a baking pan, pour all juice and drippings over meat. Simmer stock made from bones, skin and some spices and veges then pour that over turkey and freeze. When ready to eat it, thaw overnight and heat the next day 30 min. This saves carving the turkey while you are trying to get everything else ready. I’ll let you know how it goes.

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!
2/27 - 178.2
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!

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.

I made baked oatmeal yesterday for a few days’ worth of breakfasts and forgot the eggs. Duh. Doncha hate when you do that? Still tastes great, reasonable calories, very satisfying. I poured a little plain unsweetened kefir over it this morning and it was great. Next time with eggs!

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!!
3/3 ~ 197.9 ... Not sure how this happened I was expecting an increase I forgot about a pizza fundraiser with no room in the freezer so we had it for dinner! 10,000 and 68 min. I developed a sciatica issue yesterday afternoon and am moving very slow today. Walking does help but I'm not sure I can push my step goals today as I can usually rush a few steps here and there.

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.
3/2 119.0 I know I have been lacking in the most important macro lately - protein. I need to make more of an an effort to get that in.
3/3 119.0 Drank half of a high protein coffee yesterday before DH said he was hungry. We went to El Pollo Loco. I ate a thigh and leg (these pieces keep getting smaller and smaller,) the Loco Salad was nothing but iceberg lettuce (I ate half,) the broccoli was good. I’ll finish the coffee today when I break my fast. I’m beginning to think the scale is stuck.9 -

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.
3/3 - 261.2 - Down 18.8 pounds - So close to 20 pounds down and that brings all sorts of joy. Really surprised by the drop as I went over my calories and it was rest day. I signed up for a diet bet and at this rate I should definitely win. I've signed up for dietbet like 4 times now, and I always mess it up in the end. Now that my mindset has changed and I am being consistent I feel like I can actually win my money back and a few dollars more.

3/03 - 149.4 - I guess my post didn't quite take (internet issues, big house and still finding best placement for our internet extender to reach my personal computer on the other side of the house. Think I got it!). Good thing, though, because my scale FINALLY connected to my app so I can see my weight from this morning's weigh in as earlier it still hadn't connected. Still job hunting. Still unpacking. Had our first guests over for BigBro's 17th birthday. I made him an oreo brownie as he requested and I, of course, have to test my creations for quality. And curiousity. Can't feed the kids anything bad. We made burgers on the new blackstone BF got for the house. And one of those friends that came over is a general contractor who got our washer and dryer switched into the garage (rather than in the kitchen) and was able to replace the old washer/dryer that came with the house to ours (the pipes were corroded open and the washer didn't work so we had no working washer and no way to connect ours until he came out to replace valves and reconnect. Plenty of laundry to catch up on now!) Mostly unpacked but still getting little things situated that we had set aside to deal with later. Was able to get replacement blinds fairly cheap for rental house since the pup had destroyed them. Should be done with that house by the end of the weekend. We may even have a renter to take over the last 2 months of our lease!

3/02 - 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!

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.
3/3 / 176.4 / Planned maintenance day today as I'm off to the Flames game with my husband for work and there will be less control on food and drink than normal. Got my Peloton ride done before work.

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.
3/03 162.6lbs
A proper copy & paste was not working today so I'm improvising...
Fully bloated from to much bad chain restaurant delivery. Thankfully calories were okay. I've had no appetite so I'll take advantage of a fasting day with a protein shake to make of for the past few days

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!
3/03 368.4 – 6803 steps. Yesterday I got back on track again and on track today. I am going to bed early to go into the office tomorrow.

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 -
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. Protein: 159
3/1 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. Protein: 153
3/2 Feeling like spring! The soil in my vegetable garden is still too wet, so I’m planning to get spring seeds in the ground on Saturday. Walked about 5 miles at the park. Pull day for strength today with lots of heavy rack pulls. Lentil salad with a tahini nutritional yeast dressing for dinner. Protein: 142

Day/Weight/Comment
2/26 177.6 Holding steady! Most importantly, I've been logging my calories and staying within bounds. THAT is the real win in these early days.
2/27 DNW
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!
3/3 176 I've never been one of those people who loses 5 lbs the first week. Slow and steady, bobbing up and down, but as long as it's ultimately down, I'll take it!
