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.

6/07 - 171.9 (+.4 - too much sodium), Had a terrible nights rest thanks to my PTSD (13 min. Deep/ 1 hr. 28 REM, 3.10 light, the rest of my 8.5hrs in bed registered as awake). My sleeping BPM shot up & down like a roller coaster all night from 43 to 126! Itβs been almost 20 years & remains a difficult topic. I wish mental health wasnβt taboo. Nobodies pain should be wrapped in shame but it frequently gets dressed that way. I donβt want or need pity, a little bit of compassion or empathy goes a long way. Still sore on top of exhausted but I exceeded my H2O goal. Took a much needed rest & recovery day which included Hatha Yoga, light rowing, light strength training (gotta keep moving 1.5hrs. total), meditation & a nap.

Mental health is becoming a lot more talked about and open nowadays, certainly within the UK, I don't know where you live, but you may want to try again to get some support? You will certainly get empathy from this group if getting things off your chest helps; never be afraid to bring it to the fore with us x.
I hope you are able to find some help soon! It's not easy, I imagine. We are here for you, though! Sending lots of love your way5 -
Update:
1. Background check information is now submitted (7 years history....that was a challenge and a half to find all those addresses! Military moves a lot in 7 years!)
2. Drug test is due by 10pm Friday, thankfully, so I don't have to take time off work. StepDaughter (SD from here out) has eye appointment Friday afternoon only a half mile from the place I need to go so we'll go knock out appointments together (:
3. Once background check comes back, I just have to submit Authorization to work in the US (I-9) and I have my passport. That will cover everything all at once rather than having to submit multiple documents. Hopefully the background check only takes the 5 days (they say 5-10) so I can get I-9 stuff submitted early.
I feel so much better having that all done. I can go on vacation without too much concern it seems.5 -
First timer here, have a long journey but trying hard. Hope I have this right

@lisamurfin Welcome, Lisa, and happy birthday. This is a great place and will be really helpful. I honestly never thought I'd lose more than a few pounds. Here I am a year later and 70 pounds down. Stay involved in the communities here. There are some amazing people who have traveled this road before us and offer amazing support. You can do this!!5

@coblujay Thanks for the tip--I would like to keep the info in one place. I'm very impressed by so many people here who've done so many rounds of Give me 10 days--I hope it helps me too!
@JbeanR0212 I agree, shame is a tough emotion to deal with and it can be hard talking about mental health. Funny though, when I do talk about it--seems like so many people can relate in one way or another. Being good to oneself can be extra hard for survivors--and still I believe it can be learned one step at a time. Being here is a step!
@lisamurfin Happy Birthday to you and thanks for sharing the road to better health. The journey never really ends--and I'm making peace with that--learning to focus on the small steps I can make everyday instead of looking down the long road all at once. I hope you feel better and stronger day by day!

6/6 / 160.4 / Worked from home with a Peloton ride at lunch. The rainy weather stopped me from taking my dog for her walk as she hates getting her paws wet, and rather than go out on my own I did a 10 minute strength workout instead.
6/7 / 162.2 / Last day in office before I start a string of corporate events including golf and field tours. I will get some form of exercise in tonight but I have lots to get organized.

ROUND 188starting a little late: weighing every day will be difficult, i usually only weigh in on sunday. i've been bouncing back and forth with my weight, a tiny gain, a tiny loss. think i will add a little exercise to the dieting plan.

5/29: 179.2 30 minute walk @2.5mph 1691 calories
5/30: 178.6 1193 calories
5/31: 176.6 30 minute walk @ 2.5 mph 1254 calories
6/1 : 178 1100 calories (and there is the bounce. not letting it bother me, 'cause my normal weigh in is sunday. when i report my weight on sunday i'll still have lost some). not sure if i'll be walking for a little while. i have arthritis in the hips. the walk yesterday i wasn't sure if i would make it home. healthy weight must come with a healthy body.
6/2 : 178, 1538 calories. going to have to do better. i caught myself "boredom" eating. i will be sure to set higher standards of myself tomorrow.
6/3 : 178.2, 1224 calories not a bad day. disappointed with my sandwiches. i used to make them with joseph's flax, oat bran, wheat lavish bread. the grocery store didn't have that when i went shopping. decided to buy pepperidge farm very thin whole wheat. it'll be excellent for toast, but for sandwich? naaah. making a mental note to buy extra joseph's when they're back... i'll freeze it.
6/4 : 178.6 1609 calories. was my calorie intake poor choices? i don't think so. it's disappointing to see my weight continue to go up.... but there's other things to consider. i haven't been able to walk for several days, and my quitting smoking has been going very well. i am still using the step 2 patch, but sometimes i forget to replace it, and when stress triggers the "i NEED a cigarette" i'm able to fight past the urge. maybe i'm seeing things right/wrong. i've consumed 350 less calories this week than needed to "maintain" without the exercise, so my weight is probably right where it should be.
6/5 : 180.2 1037 calories. hmmmm. not really understanding how the app keeps telling me i'll weigh less in 5 weeks, but my weight keeps going up. it's proving to be quite the disappointment.

6/6: 179, my eating was a mess today, macro's messed up, calories exceeded. i did get a good 2mi. walk in @3.0mph. i have also graduated to step 3 with the nicotine patch, that was a difficult experience also (yay me.... i didn't give in!) i'd like to go for another walk tonight, but worry about the arthritis. maybe a nice slow stroll around the community.
6/7: 178.8 my eating is still a mess, macro's still messed up, now i have seriously lagged in calories. it was too hot to sleep last night, so when i finally got to sleep i ended up waking up too late to take a walk. heat and humidity do not agree with me. i'd like to go out now to walk, but sometime tonight the county is spraying for mosquito's (not even sure if my area is being sprayed, just don't want to get caught in it if it is). every thing seems disappointing today, but i do have a beautiful cucumber in my garden that i will pick tomorrow morning!

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 Outpatient 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 gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and 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 every day. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Every day 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 goalsβ¦β¦ and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us.8 -

Awe thanks @musicsax. I live in the US and while our society becomes more accepting and open to mental health I have to say we still have a long ways to go. I am part of a support group but at times I feel it does more to trigger me than help. I appreciate the understanding, just needed to vent a little.

Round 189 ( my 121th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
I've enjoyed the Queen's platinum jubilee weekend, but that is now over, many of my clothes are beginning to feel a little uncomfortable, no way do I want to get into the sprial of buying the next size bigger clothes, I'd like to lose a couple of pounds this round, but any is a loss!!!!Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.6/5 DNW β 7.86 miles walked yesterday dodging rain showers!! Jubilee party this afternoon. Congrats to Her Majesty.

6/6 141.6 β oh dear !! That is my highest weight since I started these rounds (round 69) ! As you can see I did celebrate Her Majesty's platinum jubilee and I did enjoy it. But now is the time to move on. Not only that I am starting to drop behind with my walking daily average goal; one of the reasons is my temp. seasonal part time job, but enough of the excuses, lets move on and make this round count!
6/7 140.4 - 9.2 miles walked, good food choices, a third of exercise calories eaten back.
6/8 139.6 β good to see the 130's again! 7 miles walked, no exercise calories eaten back, 11g carbs over.

Good Morning Everyone, It's looking like a good day in central MD where I live. The humidity is down which makes outdoor exercise more enjoyable. I am always amazed at how much better I feel when my nutrition is on target--energy is better, mood is better.
I'm sure life will send me something to rock my boat--as it often does--yet I'm learning to use my tools and stay in touch with my goals. Progress, not perfection.

6/6 184.8 SW. I'm feeling better after a week back on MFP, eating well and exercising. Just adjusted my macros for higher protein and continuing with exercise routine. Walking, cycling and strength training are my go to's. Love reading everyone's comments and encouragements.
6/7 183.6 Always nice to see the scale go down, but remembering that there will be little ups and downs all week.....Busy day at work, and have a bike ride with dear husband after work to look forward to.
6/8- 183.6 It rained yesterday so the bike ride didn't happen, but I did 45 minutes of Jessica Smith workouts instead. Tried kickboxing--which was fun and harder than I expected. Does anyone else know Jessica Smith? If you are getting back into exercise, she has tons of free workouts on YouTube. The variety is great and it's easy to do in your own house.

6/08 - 152.0 - Salty dinner of nachos (dang you delicious salty tortilla chips!!!). All good, it fit in my plan and I was anticipating it. Lunch leftover is a burrito and left the chips behind. I was feeling extremely bloated last night when I went to bed which seemed to be way too soon for the salt (an hour after eating?) so not sure what else is going on in the body. I'm focusing on my water, though. Hopefully the bloat goes away soon, though, as we leave for the beach getaway a week from today and I'm feeling uncomfortable and not confident at all.

Previous Day's Comments6/06 - Water weight, I'm guessing. Also lack of sleep. Triple digit temperatures and working outside. Simply couldn't keep up no matter how hard I tried. I did accept the remote job on Friday. Waiting to hear from my current job HR and then from new job about all the information needed for onboarding. Anxiety through the roof with this transition right now, but I'm coping best I can. Busy week for work even before the added stress of handoff so hopefully days will go fast.
6/07 - Insight (hindsight?) from yesterday is TOM decided to make an appearance which, on top of the weekend water debacle (which I rectified to the best of my ability yesterday and will continue today) and sleep, accounts perfectly for the increase. Still dealing with TOM bloat today, plus some salt from dinner last night. Back on track, though. Steak and green beans for dinner last night as well as lunch today. Breakfast is the usual overnight oats. Dinner will be some form of "Taco Tuesday" fare, whether that be burritos, tacos (street or regular), enchiladas, nachos or something else. Hoping an email today so I can begin process for background check and hopefully schedule my drug test for this Friday as I'm going on vacation Wednesday next week until Sunday plus my last 2 days of work filled with out-processing Monday-Tuesday. Start date is Monday after we get back from vacation. Luckily ma helped me gather all my addresses for the last 7 years (required) and that's the hardest part of it all. Just takes the longest once submitted so best to get it done as soon as possible after I get the information packet to submit. Whew. Lots and lots of busy work finishing my assignments at this job as much as possible and getting all the on-boarding for new one with such a tight deadline.

I hope you are able to find some help soon! It's not easy, I imagine. We are here for you, though! Sending lots of love your way
Thanks @CamandJarvis! Sometimes you just gotta vent. You are a sweetheart & I value your words of encouragement. Congratulations on knocking all of the job stuff off your list before vacay.
I do my best! I've been diagnosed with general anxiety, mild depressive disorder, and was being evaluated for PTSD when my therapist took a new position and it all ended. I completely understand. Luckily, before we even got to diagnosis, my therapist focused on teaching me some things I can do to help myself when I have an "episode" as I call them. I wish getting help was easier, both in time commitment as well as in price! Hopefully this new job will free up some time and it looks like the health benefits will cover at least some of it. At least I know some coping mechanisms to get through the worst of it. I'm one of the fortunate ones.
However, a good vent is sometimes all you need. And I will 100% be okay with any and all vents so long as it helps, even just a little teeny tiny bit.5 -
