@IsMollyReallyHungry I’m so happy you reread my little insights. I have to say that I think I’m on the rising side of the 🌊 wave with multiple events this weekend. I think I’ll try to fast sometime next week. I wish I was able to TRULY FAST!
@JbeanR0212 Jenn, I hope you feel better today. Did I know you’re in CO? We moved to the Denver area in 1973 and to Cañon City in 1976. I retired from CDOC in 2002. My parents were amazed at how dry the “high desert” was.4 -

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 almost 5 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

SW RND 191 120.0
6/26 118.5 GKI 6.4
6/27 120.5 GKI 12.7 Can sum this up in 3 words - HOT HOMEMADE BREAD!!! 2 slices buttered and Greek Salad with steak. No TMI in a couple of days Why does bread/wheat taste so good and treat me so bad(ly)??? Not worried about this bump.
6/28 120.5 GKI 13.0 Gotta give the bread away!
6/29 119.5 GKI 13.1 DH has been having balance issues for a week and is waiting for a referral. He just called to find out the statues-in the past it has taken only a few days-he was just told it takes up to 2 weeks to be processed! Meanwhile, he doesn’t like anything or anyone and yada yada. . . Sorry, it’s getting old.
6/30 118.5 GKI 6.4 “Grumpy old man” and “getting grumpy old woman” had no eating plans in place. He ate the left over egg salad and I ate the leftover piece of rib eye. Around 5 or 6 we went to In-n-Out. I got the Double Double Protein style (no bun, wrapped in lettuce) with no spread (Russian dressing) added tomato and grilled onion as well as part of DH’s fresh onion. Cal over by almost 200, total carbs 9, protein and fat both over. This weekend involves stock car races (= possible junk food) and 4th of July community “picnic.” Life is good, we have to learn to roll with the punches. Or as I said some time back Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄♀️
7/1 118.5 118.0 GKI 8.7 Edited weight after 10 oz (wt) of coffee and TMI! I had one glass of red wine yesterday.
7/2 119.0 GKI 12.1 Golden Corral, UGH TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL! Okay, I wasn’t really but I ate salad, cauliflower, overcooked hamburger patty, fried chicken (1 pc - the skin is the best!) and tater tots and 1 hush puppy. At least I skipped dessert!

Day/Weight/Comment
6/26: 133.2 - Well, I was over in calories yesterday but did drink a ton of water and got both my workouts in, Excellent sleep for once even though I went to bed quite late.
6/27: 132.7 - Ate pretty well - balanced macros. Need to get back to not eating after 8pm though. Good workout and a dog walk (not ours - it was fun!).
6/28: 132.9 - Got my normal workouts in although I was a little tired in the afternoon. Dinner was a little heavier than usual (or I ate a bit more). Good sleep.
6/29: 134.0 - Had two social events yesterday that derailed my eating. Normal workouts though.
6/30: 134.0 - Normal workouts and cleaning out my closet yesterday. I’m now 10 pairs of shoes lighter. :-) I figured high heels weren’t really something I was going to wear anymore now that I’m retired. I also realized that all my old work shoes and clothes were black, black, and more black. I’m excited to bring more color into my outerwear and shoes.
7/1: 132.9 - Happy first of July! Hard to believe I’ve been on this MFP journey for the last 10 months and for the most part have stuck to my workouts and eating plans. Even though we are focused on 10 days at a time here, it is certainly helpful to look at the long game (both backwards and forwards) especially on those days where you gain a pound or two.
7/2: 132.9 - Went to the ball game last night with our neighbors and had a lovely time. I was worried about what ballpark food would do for my calories, but it was needless worry. When Impossible burgers cost $16 and fries are $8, you don’t end up over indulging :-). I got all my workouts in and ate well for the most part.

ROUND 188
SW: 179.2
ROUND 189
SW: 180.2
ROUND 190
SW: ?6/24 176.6 back from vacation. was i stressing over gaining weight so i didn't eat as much, or was i not stress eating? kinda like that old tootsie pop commercial, "the world may never know".
6/25 175.8 don't believe everything you see. it HAS to be my scale messing with me again because everyone knows i don't lose almost a pound overnight. someday i will invest in a better scale. until then....i'm enjoying the tiny fibs it tells me every once in a while.
ROUND 191
SW: 174.4
Day/Weight/Comment
6/26: 174.4 i will keep accepting these lower weights my scale is spitting out, just as i will accept the higher ones when it decides to tell the truth. maybe it's all my fault, and i should change the batteries? I forgot to mention my failures that have occurred since vacation. i am ashamed to say i have had a set back in my quitting smoking. i know that i will have to get that under control as well as my eating habits. i have also failed in my walking. i will need to get motivated and include that also. i have emotional stress in my life right now, which i see an end to in the future but that will take a few months. my weeks vacation visiting with family was nothing but smiles and laughter. driving home my failures began, and i realized i must do something besides diet and exercise for myself. i will continue to recognize my failures, but i will not beat myself up over them. a slow and steady path in the right direction is what i have chosen.
6/27: 174.4 i looked up how many calories i should be eating if i am sedentary and oh lordy lordy they're really trying to starve people! i did my check in yesterday and "whoop whoop" my neck is 1/2 in thinner! wow! was that a good feeling! i still haven't gotten back to my walks outside. i did spend 3 hours walking in a circle around my livingroom yesterday, and i think i am going to start calling the time i struggle with the dog to take her medicine "my cardio workout".
6/28: 174.8 OK scale... i must weigh 174.(something). my calories were good, my macros were good. my exercise was non-existant. aaarrrgggh, i thought getting back to exercising would be easier than this.
6/29: 174 changed the batteries in my scale, and my weight remained about the same. i'm owing my scale an apology now for accusing it of lying to me. my calorie intake was super low yesterday, i wasn't feeling very hungry. maybe it was because of the migraine lurking to attack me last night, but it's almost noon time today and i still have no appetite. i was thinking earlier how great this group is. no one is judgmental and everyone so supportive. it's excellent therapy without the giant price tag.
6/30: 173.6 another day of too low intake, but again great macros. i forced myself to go for my walk yesterday. 1.9mi @3mph. when i got home i was questioning my sanity. 2 weeks without walking, last night felt like a nightmare, but i'm sure it'll get better again. i am trying to do my walks 3-4 times a week.
7/: 172.4 calorie intake was at "sustain" level, so i'm shocked to see this loss. macros pretty good.
7/2: 174.0 calories were good. it had rained all day, so i never went on my walk. weighed myself in the afternoon, after already eating. today i will be hooking up with my sister and her family. we are going to a dinner theatre so i am expecting a gain for tomorrow.

Sometimes our bodies just have to catch up or they want to hold on to those mean fat cellsI’m in for my second round. Met some great friends the last round! Last round I lost 2 pounds! This round will be tricky because there is a holiday in it and we have a party with all the food and the drinks. We’ll see.

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 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 goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us. 5 -

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 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 goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us.
@IsMollyReallyHungry thank you so much! I was really frustrated. I love your positivity! ❤️

💬: Drank some Keifer for the first time yesterday. I think that’s what added weight. It has 8g carbs per 3/4 cup. I don’t want to waste it so I might be gaining the next few days to finish the bottle while only drinking about 3/4 cup at a time. After this bottle of Keifer and some remaining Raw cheese, going to stop eating raw cheese and whole milk keifer until hitting weight loss goals.

Round 191 ( my 123rd). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
Goal this round is just to lose, no binges,& keep within calories.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.

Day/Weight/Comment
6/26 139.8 - 13.27 miles walked yesterday. 50% exercise calories eaten back, no binge!!
6/27 139.8 – 7 miles walked yesterday. We had a big family picnic, all my DSs. nearly all of our children & grand-children: 30 of us in all, myself the eldest & our 12 month old DGD the youngest. We try to meet up at least once per year, but this is the first time since January 2020 (mostly due to the pandemic !)
6/28 141.6 - 4 miles walked, no structured walking as precipitation each time I was not working. Chocolate monster over powered me !! Feeling bloated & fat, spare tyre is visibly inflated, need to get back under control.
6/29 139.2 – 4.78 miles walked, intended to do more, but had e-mail to advise Commonwealth Games volunteer uniform was being delivered & had to be home to accept, walk cut short to get back and wait in for it! It is a bit 'snug', I was 6lbs lighter back in October when measured up for it so now I have 29 days to lose a few pounds to make it more comfortable, going to use that as an incentive to do well over this and next 2 rounds. 8 calories over due to having to restrict planned walk.
6/30 138.8 – 8.68 miles walked, a good food day, casual work finished now until November so walking should be increasing back to normal now which will help. 2/3 exercise calories eaten back.
7/1 139.2 - 8.56 miles walked, all pushing 2 year old DGS in buggy. Good food choices, but all but 26 of exercise calories eaten back.
7/2 139.8 – 7.93 miles walked. Calories 112 over.
7/3 139.8 – 10.46 miles walked, whoops didn't realise I went over by 370 calories until I logged all my food this evening; need to start pre-logging again as I thought I would be under!! Attended my training for Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, I shall be driving & first shift is just over 2 weeks away – exciting !!

6/26: 252.6
6/27: 253.2
6/28: 252.2
6/29: 251.2 – it is great to see the loss today as I struggled very hard to stay on plan yesterday. I am finding it more and more difficult to plan and cook my meals to plan. I want to give in and get something quick, easy and very bad for me. Yesterday was a bad day from the emotional point of view but I did manage to stay on plan although my calories were somewhat higher than normal, but still OK. I was doing fine without grains (bread, pasta, rice, corn etc.), but I am now (over a month in) starting to really miss them on bad days like yesterday. Luckily, I don’t really have anything in the house so it is harder to give in to cravings! I hope that today will be better
6/30: 251.0 – Staying on plan was easier yesterday. But I am struggling with doing all that prepping and cooking of meals. Planning far enough ahead that I know what I am going to eat is difficult. But if I don’t do that, I will make poor decisions about meals. But I am still hanging in there.
7/1: 251.0 – Still the same! Doing Ok but still struggling some with all the meal prep etc.
7/2: 251.2 – I am surprised that I didn’t go up more today. I had a not so good calorie consumption and more sodium than usual. This is unfortunate as today I am set to go out to lunch with a friend so I am pretty sure that my plan may suffer. I have been looking at the menu and trying to find something that isn’t as bad/off plan. There are a few things that I could/should order. Let’s hope that I stay strong and order one of those!
7/3: 252.4 – I went out to lunch with a friend yesterday and so did not eat to plan completely and I had a margarita with added salt to the intake. I am hoping that most of this is water that can quickly come off again as we only have 2 days left.

ROUND 190
SW: ?6/24 176.6 back from vacation. was i stressing over gaining weight so i didn't eat as much, or was i not stress eating? kinda like that old tootsie pop commercial, "the world may never know".
6/25 175.8 don't believe everything you see. it HAS to be my scale messing with me again because everyone knows i don't lose almost a pound overnight. someday i will invest in a better scale. until then....i'm enjoying the tiny fibs it tells me every once in a while.
ROUND 191
SW: 174.4
Day/Weight/Comment
6/26: 174.4 i will keep accepting these lower weights my scale is spitting out, just as i will accept the higher ones when it decides to tell the truth. maybe it's all my fault, and i should change the batteries? I forgot to mention my failures that have occurred since vacation. i am ashamed to say i have had a set back in my quitting smoking. i know that i will have to get that under control as well as my eating habits. i have also failed in my walking. i will need to get motivated and include that also. i have emotional stress in my life right now, which i see an end to in the future but that will take a few months. my weeks vacation visiting with family was nothing but smiles and laughter. driving home my failures began, and i realized i must do something besides diet and exercise for myself. i will continue to recognize my failures, but i will not beat myself up over them. a slow and steady path in the right direction is what i have chosen.
6/27: 174.4 i looked up how many calories i should be eating if i am sedentary and oh lordy lordy they're really trying to starve people! i did my check in yesterday and "whoop whoop" my neck is 1/2 in thinner! wow! was that a good feeling! i still haven't gotten back to my walks outside. i did spend 3 hours walking in a circle around my livingroom yesterday, and i think i am going to start calling the time i struggle with the dog to take her medicine "my cardio workout".
6/28: 174.8 OK scale... i must weigh 174.(something). my calories were good, my macros were good. my exercise was non-existant. aaarrrgggh, i thought getting back to exercising would be easier than this.
6/29: 174 changed the batteries in my scale, and my weight remained about the same. i'm owing my scale an apology now for accusing it of lying to me. my calorie intake was super low yesterday, i wasn't feeling very hungry. maybe it was because of the migraine lurking to attack me last night, but it's almost noon time today and i still have no appetite. i was thinking earlier how great this group is. no one is judgmental and everyone so supportive. it's excellent therapy without the giant price tag.
6/30: 173.6 another day of too low intake, but again great macros. i forced myself to go for my walk yesterday. 1.9mi @3mph. when i got home i was questioning my sanity. 2 weeks without walking, last night felt like a nightmare, but i'm sure it'll get better again. i am trying to do my walks 3-4 times a week.
7/: 172.4 calorie intake was at "sustain" level, so i'm shocked to see this loss. macros pretty good.
7/2: 174.0 calories were good. it had rained all day, so i never went on my walk. weighed myself in the afternoon, after already eating. today i will be hooking up with my sister and her family. we are going to a dinner theatre so i am expecting a gain for tomorrow.
7/3: 175.4 that's a huge move in the wrong direction. i went 700 calories over my allowed amount yesterday... shameful. i will be going on a cruise in 2 weeks, i am already anticipating the work i will have to do when i get back from that.

Sue from Maryland here, count me in
Day/Weight/Comment -
6/26: 141.5, starting weight
6/27: 141.7, I blame Red Robin 🍔
6/28: 141.7
6/29: 142.0, ok, I'm going the wrong way here and a long holiday weekend at my DD's won't help. Perhaps I should wait for round #192
6/30: 141.0 That's better, the challenge will be to keep it off over the long weekend while travelling
7/01: 141.0 holding steady, will be away from a ⚖️ for the weekend, hoping travelling doesn't do TOO much damage. 🤞
7/02: DNW, no scale access for a couple of days
